Favourites from shoot 3

One activity of a teenager that I hadn't yet captured, which is probably distinguishes them from the other generations the most is drinking.  As I was already happy with the photos I captured of my grandpa, I focused on my granny.  This photo definatly shows her out of place. 

The old fashioned hair dryer can only be assocaited with grandmas so I placed a teenager in her position. 



Pruning and keeping her garden looking nice is an activity associated with grandmothers.  I like the composition of this photo and it has a delicate, elderly feeling about it.  I tried making it black and white to give an old fashioned look and relate to my precedent images but I think instead it gives a more depressing feel to the photo as the colours work really nicely already to give the grandma feel.



The colours, position, and clothes in this photo automatically make you think of a grandfather.  The only problem I have with this photo is that the table and cabinet in the background are slightly distracting.  I want the main focus to just be my dad in the arm chair.

I also tried this photo in black and white but once again I think the brown chair and clothes give a more effectively show the grandpa look rather than the black and white.

Grandmas are often associated with knitting, having cups of tea and sitting in arm chairs.  I captured my mum in her situation.  I think this has a really old person feel to it.

I tried making some photos in this shoot black and white as this gives an old-fashioned look to them but it actually instead made the photos look depressing.  I found that instead colour was more effective and consistant with my series.
