Julliette Mills

'Juliette Mills is a British photographer based in Dartmoor, South West of England and has been taking pictures since the age of 12. She grew up in a private zoo, surrounded by endangered species, with parents fired by passions for conservation and music.'

I wanted to include Julliette Mills within my blog because she focuses a lot of her work on documentary photography of families. I would ideally like to take influence from the way in which she reports on family life so I can get a clear understanding of how to project family relationships and reflect them delicately as to not obstruct the bond that families already share. However, I won't just be photographing the family whilst I'm in Scoraig, I will be looking at what influences them to stay and live the life they do, one major contributing factor being the scenery around them. The beautiful mountain style hill tops and water surrounding them.

The interesting thing about Julliette Mills is that she almost blends and merges the two into one single photo, the family relationships and the scenery surrounding them. I don't feel like I necessarily need to merge the two, this is an in-depth project, not a series of candid shots of different families. I want to photograph the family life but I also want to photograph their habitat, their surroundings, what their children do in their spare time and anything in-depth and analytical of the nature in which they live.
