FIRST PHOTOSHOOT
The brief had two options which are Sites of Memory, or The Personal is Political/ The political is Personal. So I picked the Sites of Memory.
I chose BSL, which stands for British Sign Language. I wanted to show how do we communicate with deaf people and hearing people. I’m profoundly deaf. I wanted to do something different for the project.
I asked my interpreter to be my model as I would like to take photos of her. I directed her to sign anything, fingerspelling and also I asked her a question which “how did she meet me? What I was like in college?” She signed through she answered my questions while I took photos of her signing. The place (of the background area) was at the university where near the lectures room.
