Photography - Friends and Family

After sorting out dates with friends and family, receiving agreements from the participants and when they were available I was able to get back into the studio to start shooting. For this shoots as I wanted some form of control over the shoots I gave 10 statements in which they had 5 seconds to react to, they had to do the first action that came into their mind and I wanted to see if it was the relationship, environment or if it is a general societal reaction that we are trained to do. Which came across very interesting as some of the partnerships did the same actions for the same statements, but a factor of this could be because they had been sat watching for a period of time. 

I definitely found the interactions and reactions with family were a lot more smooth and calm where as the one with friends was a little stiff with a lot of nervous laughing, possibly because they didn't know each others boundaries so they didn't know what they could do with each other.
