For my blog this week: My personal ongoing documentary family project of my nieces.
Capturing the bond between two sisters for one week in a summer garden: My Untamed Summer Story. In this family of five children, I am capturing the eldest & youngest sister as they interact honestly in an unruly garden.
Often in hard midday light, I am documenting these two sisters playing & interacting in the garden at home. There are many pictures from these family documentary sessions and I am trying to narrow the selection down.
It is important to do a quick edit on any image that stands out from this series. After that, any picture that I really love will be edited with more care. I think I know my faves by now, but I am hoping there are a still a few more I've missed!
I am really keen on eye contact, so I am looking for black & white child portraits that include new & interesting compositions. That show the sisters looking away from the camera as well as full on. Sideways glances, even closed eyes, can add mystery to a portrait!
I am going stick with black & white for this child portrait series.
Black & white photography is perfect for distilling a picture to its purest elements.
With the hard light in the garden, I am enjoying the sharp highlights in these & the stark shadows.
