For the shoot, I shot with my usual model (and I should now probably refer to her as my muse) Mori/Lisa. We shot in her flat in Tooting Bec and I styled her outfits to resemble what we remember me wearing when I was younger to what I imagine I'd wear when I'm older. There was an awful great emphasis on the color black in all the outfits but it's now a well known fact to my friends and family that I tend to stick to certain colours (black being one of them).

I enjoy shooting on Polaroids as it gives film photographs and quality instantly without the need to fill an entire roll of 24 or 36 exposures and so it made sense to shoot on polaroid as I also wanted to achieve an outdated but undated look to the photographs. Polaroids have the ability to look old but very modern and so time stamps can never really be applied to the images.

This project has been very enjoyable as I've been able to really look at myself and research into the things I think make me who I am. I've delved into my own personal research, finding out things that I've kept (as I'm a notorious hoarder) and discovering what it is exactly that I enjoy in life as my target audience for Rem would hopefully enjoy the same to some extent. Completing this project has left me very eager to start on the FMP and I await the impending stress and excitement with baited breath.
