I will take August Sander for my inspiration for my upcoming photos. I will document people that are in my everyday life: my friends. Instead of taking photographs of people in their profession like Sander did, I will take photographs of my friends in the moment, without posing like they were for a family photo, doing what they want and what they like. I will try to show the normality of being around friends everyday, my intent to show that we can take their presence for granted and when we aren't around them, we can get very bored and lonesome.
Unlike, Sander, who took photos in monochrome black and white as colour photography was not prominent, I will take digital photos in colour with my Canon EOS 1000D on auto settings and manual settings. I will take these photos in environments that I am often in such as the common room with my friends.
I will know if I am successful if I feel my photographs have portrayed this sense of documentation of my friends in my modern interpretation.
