Unfortunately I lost the photos of this shoot due to a faulty sd card. I shot photos of my housemates over the course of the day, they were doing everyday activities such as cooking, working, watching tv.
I kept with the documentary approach, they knew I was taking photos of them that day but I would take them at random times so they were not as aware. As portraits they were good sue to correct exposure and shallow depth of field. But from my research it lacked much depth. I used my inspiration from Tobais Zielony and Doug Dubois, which was the importance of things in the frame and showing the sense of place but emotionally they did not suggest much.
In my theoretical research I looked into relationship between photographer and subject, in this shoot it was pretty much non existent. Also all the things I have learnt from my subject research was not portrayed in my images, they were simply people living their everyday lives.
Although this shoot was unsuccessful, it has allowed me to understand that a candid, documentary approach isn’t going to be effective for this shoot. I need form more of a connection with the subject to represent how they are feeling.
