I have been looking online for a copy of this book but I cannot source anything online and am not able to purchase one at the moment. Thankfully, I can get a pretty decent look at some of his images through a Google image search and can see exactly what I was expecting from the title, everyday photographs of working class families within their homes. Unfortunately, I think my tutor advised to me to look at this project predominantly for the personal statement and they way that he spoke of himself and his family but I am unable to find it online.
So I hope to be able to return to this work at a later date to be able to read the introduction when I am able to get hold of a copy.
The photographs themselves are similar to the images that I am planning to take myself. They are an honest representation of different families within their own homes. I think the reality of if is an important factor. Home is where you are completely yourself, where you can relax and don't have to put on any facades. So photographing people within their own homes, feeding their families, getting in after a day at work, give the viewer an insight into their reality. Into their lives. There's no airs and graces, or staged performances into how people want to be seen or how they want to be portrayed to an extent, it's just an insight into them as people and how they live and this is what I want my own project to objectify. My reality and an insight into how I live within my own surroundings with my own family, with the inclusion of the reality of modern technology.
I will keep trying to track down a copy of this book and return back to this post when I do.
