For assignment 1 we were asked to collect a number of photographs from our childhood or our environments and personal spaces and swap them with a person that you don't really know. I swapped mine with a girl in my class. We decided to swap photographs of our childhood.
When I was looking at the photos, I began taking notes. The first photo I looked at is of Laura and a group of her friends. They all look around 10 or 11 years old. They are all standing in a circle with there arms linked looking down at the camera. It looks like the photograph has been taken in a park or someones garden.
In the second picture Laura is alot younger. It is a family picture with her mum, dad and younger sister. They are at the beach and are all smiling in the photograph. This could of been a special day out at the beach.
In the next photo she is sat on what looks like her grandads knee. They are looking at each other and laughing. There body language is open and very relaxed. I think also by looking at this picture that Laura and her grandad have a very close relationship.
The final photo is of Laura standing in her bedroom. She is in fancy dress and has a big smile on her face. From this it shows that Laura has a fun and playful personality. The first thing that stands out in the background of the photo is the decor. It looks like it has been recently redecorated as it looks very fresh and modern. There is also a t.v in the corner and lots of DVDs. Most of the DVDs are chick flicks which shows she is quite a girlie girl. Another aspect that is clear from the photograph is that Laura likes things to be organised, as everything has its place and looks very neat and tidy. There is also lots of photos on her wall. Mostly ones of her with friends on nights out. This tells me that she is a very caring person and that she cherishes her friends.
I think this photo has revealed the most about Laura's personality and what she likes and dislikes. My overall impression of Laura is that she is a very sociable person and loves spending time with her friends, as most of her pictures starting from a young age have been taken with friends.
When looking through the pictures for the first time I felt like I was invading the privacy of someone I didn't really know, but having started taking notes I felt alot more comfortable.
After meeting up with Laura to discuss our analysis of each others photo's we found that most of the assumptions we had made about each others photos was pretty much right except for the odd detail here and there. I felt very comfortable talking about my photos and correcting her on any slight mistakes. I think this is because we found out that we have had very similar up-bringing and that we have similar tastes. Laura told me that she was very close to her grandad and had spent alot of time during her childhood with him. So my assumption was right but you can tell by just looking at the picture they are very close. Also the picture of her with her family on the beach was exactly what I had said. It was a special occasion as it was her little sisters 5th birthday. In the final photo my assumptions were right again but there was a few things that Laura pointed out in the background which I hadn't picked up on. Like there was a teddy on the shelf which her grandad had given to her when she was a baby. Throughout this entire experiment I was fascinated and intrigued to find how much information you can find out about someone. Just by looking at a few photos I found out that Laura has a fun and playful personality, she is a sentimental person as she has kept things from her childhood, she is very neat and organised and that she loves her friends and family and couldn't live without them!
