Take a moment, Documentary means as it happens naturally,
Documentary photography is about honesty above all else,
which means being truthful to the scene in front of you
and the moment you are capturing. However, if you slow down and
compose the background of your image and wait
for the action to come, then you regain control
of the scene.

 

It is all too easy to get caught up in action
and chase after it, but it pays off to slow down and
learn to anticipate the moment.

 

Pay special attention to the details of an objects,
situations, person, etc. What you observation, capture it close ups,
think about your framing, you are asked
to generate THREE PHOTOSHOOTS 

 

 It can tell a story,
evoke an emotion, or take us right back to that moment.
It’s important to document the ordinary and extraordinary
moments from our everyday lives.  Not only to
celebrate the present, but to preserve memories that we’ll treasure
in the future.


The Family Home, Just being where you are right now, Watching the sun set, use your environment,
capture, someone close to you, as in my children, what is it about them you want to capture?

 

It could be about you!! What part of their personality do you want to shine through in the photos:  wisdom,
a gentleness; intelligence, caring, a sense of fun, or all of the above?

 Is there something quirky about you or a family member that makes them unique, how can you show
that in your images?

​

A family Holiday, Beach days, a walk in the woods. Things around you, 

daily life could set the scene, so remember to capture

some aspect that portrays a narrative.
