I would like to show this by using several different photographs - some old childhood photos my subjects have let me photocopy, some current ones, that I have taken - at home, Uni etc - and potentially, if there is time, since it is exam season, a 'future' photo showing where they would like to be in so many years time (probably 10). I would also like to include symbols for their age, such as bills or acceptance letters.
In the new, current photos I would like to avoid taking any obviously posed photographs and show them working, with their heads down. Many of the older photos I'll be using will be posed - from on trips, at some sort of occasion
For a small example of what I hope to be doing: http://cerijuddphotography2.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/then-and-now-basing-on-me.html
I will present all this in a scrapbook with a couple of pages for each participant showing a brief, slightly jumbled, history of their lives. As this is a group of friends and they all know each other fairly well, the last pages will be devoted to some group photos showing that these people have grown up together, at least for part of their lives.
For the exhibition, I would like to recreate our 6th Form kitchen. All the people in my project went to the same high school and 6th From. There is a small room with a work top in it, that I can paint and add kitchen-y objects to. I plan to paint 2 walls blue, add a kettle, toaster and microwave (if I can find one).
New skills that will be covered/learned are following people and changing the setting on my camera quickly - I will be doing a mix of location and studio photography, so I will also be improving my studio skills.
Health and Safety
In order to keep safe while taking my photographs - me and my subjects my be careful and avoid/be aware of certain potentially hazardous situations.
1) We must be careful when crossing roads
2) Be careful when travelling
3) Make subjects aware of power leads and tripods in the studio
4) basic common sense
