I am really happy with this shoot as I was thinking about photography I could do which would represent the feelings and hard work of the parents to give their children exactly what they want. I wanted to do something a little different and thought this was a really nice idea. I used a couple of backgrounds within the photos so I could choose between them and thought it would be nice to use the Severn Bridge as it represents the good things which the hard work pays for. The story behind this shoot is that people in some countries today and hunter gatherers always work and live with no shoes on. So with this idea in mind I took photographs of feet to represent the hard work and graft a family have to do to keep them together and to protect them; resulting in them also being able to enjoy themselves and life in general. I think this was a really subtle idea as it makes the audience think around the photograph and a lot deeper into the subject instead of just ‘family life’ in general. When an object or body part represents something else it can automatically make the photograph more interesting. I also wanted to have a look into using landscapes to represent feelings and hard work. Itwas quite a dull day when I did this shoot which helped a lot as the lighting contributed to the subject of the photographs. As you can see from the photographs below, I used quite a boring and empty space to create the feelings of hard work and the day to day side of life.
