My sisters and I dreaming of our holiday to Spain. I used the self-timer and at the last second the camera moved and captured the items in the room.
Meditating sisters. This picture took a while to take because we had to help our little sister cross her legs.
My sisters sitting on a leather sofa. I took this picture to capture them having a conversation about riding bikes.
My sisters arguing over jewellery. It is easy to tell we are sisters because we often dress the same.
Playing around in my cousin’s room. I took this picture while hiding in the corner so that it would appear natural.
My cousin arguing on the phone. She was pretending that she worked at a confetti factory and someone had blown up a box creating a confetti explosion.
A picture of my sister getting ready for a photo shoot. I took this picture because I liked the effect the mirror created.
My mum posing for a picture in the living room. Our living room is filled with toys and souvenirs from all over the world.
My dad’s outfit for the photo shoot. I took this picture because I liked the way the colours of the tie and the shirt went together.
Birthday girl about to open presents. I like the effect of the natural light coming in from the window.
This is the view from my mum’s bedroom window. I was watching them play and decided to take a picture because it looked peaceful.
My sisters all packed up and ready to go. I took this picture while kneeling down because I wanted to capture the beautiful sky and clouds.
A portrait I took of my hand at a playground in Hackney. I chose to take this picture because it has my two favourite colours, hot pink and electric blue.
A picture of a family walking through Kingsmead estate. While walking through the estate I asked the family if they could pose for a picture against the mural.
The Dreaming Sisters
Me and my sisters sleep and dream,
About our holiday in Spain, the one that will gleam,
We come out the sea and shake our self down,
Then go to get ice-cream from the Spanish clown,
Now we go to our hotel room and have a shower,
Next is mini disco for kids, IT’S A WHOLE HOUR!
Tomorrow we will go to the club Tots, Team and Tribe,
Last time we did writing and I was the scribe,
But first we will have our food,
Play in the pool,
Make some new friends,
Look very cool,
Because we can go anywhere when in this room,
And dream anything from a picture that’s happy to a picture full of doom.
