Photo Essay
Written Narrative
My final photo essay is of the stages of life while growing up. Life starts as an infant and ends with old age. I captured the stages of life. I followed the life of an infant boy as he grew into a man and further into an elderly man. The subject I chose was a variety of people. I chose my subjects based on their ages. I focused on the ages of the subjects, which portrays each stage of life: infant, toddler, child, teenager, adult, elder. I took my photographs in the homes of the subject. I love children and thought this topic would be different from most people's ideas. I'm portraying the importance of capturing and remembering life because the days are always limited. My images capture the "story" by the growth of the boy being shown in the pictures. I arranged the photographs in order by age, starting from the youngest and progressing to the eldest. I unified my photos by making them black and white in Photoshop.
