Proposal - Project 2 - Time

My intention is to create a sequence of photos that show a child growing up and leaving behind the previous stage of his childhood. I will show this through dropping and discarding toys, distancing the child from things associated with babyhood and showing a progression of time as he grows up. I am in contact with a parent of three young boys as potential models for the project, and should be able to do regular shoots with them. I intend to take the series in the children’s home so that they are portrayed in an environment familiar to them, with readily available props etc for the photos. The aesthetic I want for this project is an aged look, not sepia, but desaturated colours, showing an aged look and reflecting the passage of time that I want to portray.
