This is a new project I have been working on for university. The idea of this project was to create a series of images that linked together and explained something, the brief was left very broad so we could experiment and do basically whatever we wanted.
I decided to base mine on my best friend from home, Nikki Miles. I wanted the series to be about something that had happened. Something new that had changed my life and the people around me. I chose Nikki as she had fell pregnant and I wanted to base my project on teen moms. I was going to take portraits of girls I had been to school with. Them and their children.
I had always had a negative outlook on young mums. I just always thought that it was not the best age to have children when your basically a child yourself. My view has changed as the closest person to me was now in the same situation as many girls. I wanted to portrait them being happy.
I had always figured that young mums must be miserable but sometimes I tihnk that I have neer seen Nikki so happy. I was going to shoot over easter...
The two other young mums could not make it on the day we had arranged so I had to go in a new direction with this project. I decided to base it on nikki, her being young yet having responsibilities of being a mother.
