Initial Idea

My initial idea was to create a reception area of a house in a small studio, I bought different types of wallpapers that reflect time periods such as the 70s, 80s, 90s and present day. I wanted to use the same objects within my images but show the progression or people first moving into a house and then the owners growing old and having children and then them growing old together. I planned to do this by adding props to the reception area scene such as, cardboard boxes when they had first moved in, then when they have children I would add a pram, then following I would start to add toys and as they got older i would start to change the pictures on the walls to more family portrait shots, I would then add walking sticks and a zimmer frame for when they were old and finally I would strip some of the wall  paper and smash the picture frame and move most of the props from the scene, showing that the family no longer live there.

Here are some of the image I created ;

I did not continue this idea after trying for a couple of days I felt it wasn't possible because of the small space I was working in and because the wall paper would not stay on the walls without pasting it on but as it wasn't my own property I wasn't able to do so. Which meant I had to use nails and pins which lefts air in the wallpaper and it didn't give the images justice. After then re assessing and trying the shoot without the wallpapers, it didn't have the same effect as the props did not portray the moving of ages. Thats when i decided to think again how I could mould and change my idea.
