Lai shows the struggles of sense of self and identity for young Chinese girls living in London through photographing them in their personal space (their homes)
I love the vulnerability and intimacy of this series. I feel like this doesn't relate to my project as other artists do but I love the positions of the subjects in this series so will take inspiration in that aspect.

Meiselas combines portraits of her neighbours with written letters on how they see themselves in her photos. I really like this idea of making the subject think about how they view themselves through photography. This series relates to my work a lot because Meiselas has taking photos of people in their personal spaces which is what I am doing. However, I feel like her series is more subjective where mine is more objective.

Mollison took photos of children's rooms from all across the world. I really like the juxtaposition of the professional looking portrait next to their bedrooms. It is a really emotive and almost shocking series. I also like the idea of looking into where people sleep. This series relates to my project in that it looks at the places people sleep, however, I'm not going to be taking portraits and bedrooms separately.

I found it hard finding enough artificial light from the lamp, I would have used daylight but it was overcast and raining. I enjoyed editing them the most because it was interesting to see how much the images could change. I think the thing I least enjoyed was that I didn't have a lot of space in my bedroom. I think my favourite is the lowkey image as I think the black and white suits the shadows and darkness of the photo, overall giving it a moody feel. I also prefer the composition and crop of the lowkey photo.

I found this task difficult to do on an iPhone. I'm happy with how they came out but it took me a while to get the right focus. Overall, I like how they came out but I'm not sure if I will use this technique in my project

I enjoyed this task but found it, again, difficult to do on an iPhone. I downloaded an app which made me able to change the shutter speed which made me able to produce these photos. I like the second one the best. I don't think I'll use this technique in my project

Overall, I am happy with my final project. I think the pairings go well together and the way that each pairing looks like they are looking at each other gives the series an intimate feel. Something that could've been improved was the crop and angles. This is because I noticed how the lights on the ceilings don't match up and I feel I should have spent more time focusing on that but I would have been able to if I had a tripod to set up the photos in exactly the same position. I think that putting the images together as pairs makes the these differences more noticeable because the viewer is more able to make comparisons between the two. Despite this, I'm glad I chose the concept as it's a topic I feel passionate about and I enjoy portraiture. I think I have met the project brief of Subjectivity, Objectivity and Power. By taking photos of people in their bedrooms, you take away some sort of power as it is a very personal space and the positioning on the beds shows the subjects comfortable and almost vulnerable.

Initially, I was struggling to understand how to include all three objectives into one project but once I thought of my idea and rewatched the lecture, it started to become more clear. I would like to take photos of people in my accommodation in their rooms in order to show how we are all living in the same type of room but we can decorate them to show our identity. Bedrooms are the most intimate places, we spend most of our time alone there and it's a place to relax so I would like to be able to show this with portraits.

My aim for this shoot was to get photos of people immersed in activities or doing what they love. Something good about the shoot are the two final photos as they have given me a better understanding of what to carry on with. I don't think I did well with sticking to my idea in this shoot, so to improve, I'm going to focus more on the room rather than the action. Moving forward, I think I'm going to make sure the  subject is comfortable around the camera and focus on the idea rather than randomly shooting.

My aim for this shoot was to experiment with the style of typology and close up portraits. I like how the first two images have turned out and moving forward, I'm going to focus on this idea rather than head on portraits. To improve, I will make sure the composition matches in each photo in order to get a good repetition.

I really like photography typographies. They enable the photographer to establish similarities in groups of people, architecture and objects. I think I could use this in my project with peoples bedrooms. This relates to my project as I want to create my own typology.

Dear Stranger is a series in which Yokomizo asked strangers to stand in front of their windows to be photographed. I like this idea a lot because it shows people in their natural environment, in their comfortable spaces. I would like to use elements from this series in my project, such as the composition and body language/posture of the subjects

'The subjects were photographed in their bedrooms so that the objects and decoration within became metaphors for their individuality and their cultural contexts' (Quote from Sank). I like this series because the photos show the normality of people's bedrooms, the subjects personality. I want to use techniques such as the angle and positions of the subjects to show how people in university accommodation decorate their halls

I like this image because it makes me feel relaxed due to the tiredness of the woman's face and the foggy bus window. It gives me a comfortable feeling, how you feel when you're on your way home.

My aim for this shoot was to carry on with the bedroom idea and experiment with the subject's position on the bed. I feel like I have succeeded as 2 images will be used in my final series however I could have improved by using more people. Moving forward, I will get more subjects to photograph and remember to keep the composition perfect in order to carry on with the typology feel.

In my final shoot, my aim was to get my final subjects done in order to reach the 10 people, however, I still have one more person to shoot. I really like how these finals have come out and I can now see the pairings. Overall, I think it really works as in each pair of photos, the rooms are flipped bringing in an element of symmetry.
