Not A Game, 2008/2009

Photographed through 2008 - 2009 , this project shows the lead up to my younger brother Bradley leaving to join the army. The work documents the last normal days of his teenage life before he enters the institution of the military. Capturing quiet moments of him in his bedroom playing on a game console to showing him preparing for his "goodbye party".

We briefly see Bradley during his passing out parade from his Army Training. The absence between the images of him leaving to him passing out of the army training was intentional. I wanted to portray a sense of detachment and the feeling we all felt at that time; missing.
