I’m inviting 30 families to join “Generations” in 2024
From my time in the Middle East to my boutique studio in Jersey, I’ve focused on bringing life’s milestones into the spotlight. Now, I’m turning the lens to the bonds that define us: our families.
You and your family may (optionally) be featured in a special exhibition and archival book
We are passionate about your story.
Do you have a unique family story you’d like to tell? Perhaps tales from Baby Boomers learning about life in their younger days? Maybe a milestone or scary experience in your life? Adventure, Illness, survival story, Covid Lockdown experience, Divorce!!!, Unexpected Pregnancy, LIFE !!!! We’re here to listen and transform these narratives into art. We also shoot video interviews to be enjoyed for years to come.
Your story is not just yours; it’s a piece of history, a lesson for today, and a legacy for tomorrow.
Narratives we’re exploring:
- Historical Perspectives: Have you witnessed firsthand the shaping of our world through significant events or eras? Your personal account provides a living bridge to the past, offering a unique perspective that history books can’t capture.
- Life-Changing Events: Stories of transformation and resilience, whether it’s triumphing over illness, navigating the uncharted territories of adventure, or rising above personal adversities. These moments define us and we’d like to chronicle your journey.
- Cultural and Social Evolution: We’re looking for narratives that reflect the ever-changing tapestry of society. From the stories of immigration and cultural assimilation to adapting in the digital age, your experiences highlight the dynamic nature of our world.
- Personal Triumphs and Challenges: Every hurdle crossed and milestone achieved is a story of courage and determination. We want to celebrate your victories and empathise with your struggles, showcasing the full spectrum of human experience.
- Reflections on Life and Legacy: This is an invitation to share the wisdom garnered, the values upheld, and the anecdotes that have shaped your life. What would you like to impart to the coming generations?
Be a Part of Our Visual Chronicle
Your participation will involve a personal interview and a portrait session, aiming to authentically represent your narrative.
Who is this for?
Families come in all shapes and sizes, and ‘Generations’ celebrates this diversity. Whether it’s grandparents with grandchildren, single parents, blended families, or any other unique combination, every family has its own special story.
- Mother/Daughter Duos: Celebrating the unique bond between mothers and daughters.
- Expectant Families: Capturing the beauty of pregnancy and the anticipation of new life.
- Generational Milestones: From great grandparents to great grandchildren, documenting the full family spectrum.
- Large Family Gatherings: Perfect for capturing the essence of extended families.
- Father/Son Bonds: Showcasing the special connection across generations.
- Sibling Reunions: Reliving memories and creating new ones.
- Anniversary Tributes: Honoring significant marital milestones with the whole family.
- Pets as Family: Including your cherished non-human family members.
- Cousins and Fun: The joy and camaraderie of cousinhood.
- Baby Boomers’ Tales: For those wanting to share stories from their youth.
What does the Generations Portrait Experience include?
As one of my featured families, you will receive:
- Pre-consultation with me to discuss how you want to be photographed, what outfits you would like to wear etc.
- Hair and makeup on the day of the photo shoot (optional).
- Fully guided professional photo shoot where I will pose you and your family down to your expression and fingertips.
- A video interview for your chosen family member (it could be you also). (Optional)
- A reveal and ordering session where you can see all your beautiful photographs, choose your complimentary print and have the opportunity to purchase more.
What is the cost?
We are offering introductory rates for the Generations Project. Session fees begin at £200, varying based on your chosen session – we can discuss these on our discovery call. One printed 7″x10″ mounted print is included in every session along with the video interview (uncut). The final price is totally up to you, based on how many images you want to buy during the reveal presentation.
Let’s celebrate your legacy!
Early 2025 we’ll host an exhibition showcasing the most special photos. Your family’s story will not only be immortalised in photographs but also featured in the next edition of our “Portrait Magazine.” I also intend to create a coffee table book with all the 30 family portraits. It’s an opportunity to publish, archive and immortalise yours and your families legacy.
