For our last brief we were given the task of photographing want we interpret home to be. We were given free range to what to photograph and if need be use the techniques we had learnt over the couple of weeks.
When thinking about this topic, what first came into my mind was the cliche ‘Where ever I lay my hat thats my home’ which was inspired me by the singer ‘Paul Young’. So developing on this cliche I decided to photograph different hats in old location from my childhood, as these locations are the first places I think about, when I think of home, due to the memories I made there.
These three Images I had taken in my back garden pond. What I must like about this pictures is how the water reflects the hat and how the harsh green emphasises the subjects, especially the florescent pink on the Sombrero.
This photo I had taken on the rock at the beach. The reason I had chosen this location is because this is where I sent most of my time as a child as it is a 5 minute car journey from my home town. What I like about this image is how the sun is setting in the background, it give a sense of warmth and tranquility, which are both feeling that came be associated with home.
These last two photos are from where my Granddad use to take me sailing. This is probably the main memory I have as a child, as it was the place I spent most of my time. What I like about these images are the juxtaposition between the subject and the location, as the location is quite dirty and run down and is a location where you wouldn’t expect to find these subjects.
