In continuing the exploration in memories I had carried out a second photo shoot to capture the expression within facial emotions and body language when thinking of memories in the past and present. The idea of the blurred concept was inspired by artist Francesca Woodman, with her pieces titled Space². I had chosen to use the blurred motion to create my own version with a concept of interpreting a sense of despair, or fear of re-living tainted memories resulting in trying to blur them out, creating a sense of erasing them. I felt this linked well with the memories aspect as everyone has certain memories or moments they wish to forget, so I wanted to interpret and create my own thoughts of a way to forget.

Below are a range of images I had chosen capturing them with a range of shutter speed as I was experimenting the various outcomes I could create. I wanted to ensure I had a good range of natural light so I positioned the shoot near a window in which I would have the right source of light. I had captured the images in black and white again as this style of image is my favourite and I feel it represents the aged appearance for memories as well as contrasting well with the blurred motion. I was able to capture these images with a nice flowing consistency by using a tripod which gave me the perfect outcome I wanted within these photos. I felt that the concept of trying to erase and forget certain memories is something which many can relate to. I had used my parents as the models within these as I wanted them to reflect there emotional response to their thoughts of their own harsh memories which I think they portrayed well.
