These pictures dont all have something to do with my project but I love them so I thought I'd put them up (: <3




All of them apart from one are black and white, and they look really good. But my favourite one is the coloured one, It looks like it has been edited but I just think its amazing! (:

I need the person to allow me to photograph them doing daily activities, such as opening and closing the blinds or leaving their house in the morning before going to college or work. These are normal everyday occurances that I want to photograph to show that pictures of normal people can be interesting too as well as celebrities.

I asked a close male friend if he would mind me taking pictures of him for my project. I explained the brief and he agreed to let me follow him! (:
Because I want the images to look natural, as if he didnt know they were being taken, he's not going to know when im following him so that the pictures look better.

I also looked at paparazzi photographs. As i was thinking of following someone, I obviously would need to ask their permission first but I thought about the other side of that, the paparazzi are always taking pictures when they are not wanted.


People hide from them because as you can tell my this picture, they are very 'in your face photographers'. My pictures will be from a distance.

My most recent project brief is called 'Its my life'.
I have to photograph things that I am passionate about, things that matter to me or things that Im obssessed with. It can be from a love for a collection of shoes to a secret lust over a mysterious male/female.
For this brief, I had the idea of making it look like I'm following someone, taking pictures of things they to day to day, like opening and closing the curtains or walking to school/ college.

For my research, I looked at documentary photography, pictures of events. These are a few photographs I found that I liked.


I like how this picture has been taken on a bus, in a natural environment so nobody is posing for it and it just looks normal.



This picture makes me smile, I love the emotion that the image gives, the children look so happy to be playing together.
