SA PROJECT UPDATE 5 (location shots for photoshoot)

Location shot 1 (neighbours' driveway) - Caroline Wong 
Location shot 2 (brother's room) - Caroline Wong
Location shot 3 (bedroom) - Caroline Wong

 When scouting for locations, I wanted to keep the feel 'homey'. Since I'm looking into showing psychological attachment between twins and best friends (or any other similar relationship), I thought it best to think about the references these people give to their other halves. A best friend can be a hypothetical 'home'. You will most likely have grown up with your twin at home. You can feel 'at home' with someone you're psychologically attached to, someone that you love.

This homey feel led me to look for quintessential London housing exteriors and I took a number of photos of driveways and garages that had red brick peeking into the frames. The bedroom shots show something more intimate which I liked as I'm sure I'll be able to work with the models to create images that reflect an underlying sadness in psychological attachments.

For the shoot, I'm looking for backdrops that are as plain as possible so as to not deter away from the models expressions and the story I'm trying to tell. Bedroom walls will be plain, and duvets will be stripped so they are white and bare. I think this will also help to reflect whatever lighting I have which will give the photographs a softer quality.
