I explored Alain Laboile’s “La Famille 2015” series.  The black and white photographs allowed me to focus on the subject more clearly. I felt that the absence of colour allowed me to view a more simple and sincere portrayal of the subject. B&W photography hightlights the contrast between light and darkness, perfect for intense, violently beautiful images. This contrast often allows more detail to be highlighted, for example in the last photograph the water droplets shine clearly, as they are lighter than the girls back. I want to create a contrast photographic series, with the backdrop of my brothers all white bed covers. The white backdrop will create a contrast with the darker elements of the photographs in the series (middle series in the  image below). In the first picture, movement is captured. I want to incorporate movement into my photographs, using a longer shutter speed. I feel inspired by Alain Laboile’s usage of movement because it suggests a sense of immediacy and “real life”, as it is not still and controlled.
