The title of this project will be “Family.” The societal theme I want to explore will be about family. My model will be my dad, and I’ll take photos outside the studio. The photographs will highlight the evolving role of fathers in society. Traditionally, fathers were often portrayed as distant and less caring. However, a close-up of a dad could challenge these stereotypes and emphasize the nurturing and caring side of fatherhood, signaling a shift in societal expectations. Moreover, the image could express a dad who appears stressed, exhausted, or overwhelmed. This could reflect the challenges many fathers face, where they have to balance their work responsibilities with their family life. Through my photos, I also want to show different characters of my dad. I will reveal these goals by letting my model show different dramatic expressions, close-ups, and use a black-and-white color scheme. I want my audience to see the characters inside a father, and using monochrome, I want my audience to feel a sense of timeless atmosphere. I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs that contain close-ups, black-and-white, and unique compositions. Irving Penn is one of my inspirational photographers, his artworks are simple and sophisticated and evoke strong emotions. He clearly captures the character or the style of different people, with a simple background color.
