When I Was 8...
Our perceptions and dreams change as we grow older. When we are children, our imagination runs wild as to what we want to achieve in our life, and our perception of reality is distorted by stereotypical situations/ideals that we see on T.V and other forms of media. 'When I was 8 ' is about merging our childhood ambitions with our adult ones. The images are of people in their current workplace, but dressed up as what they wanted to be when they were children. The series is not about people that are unhappy in their current occupation, in fact most of those photographed enjoy what they do. It is about how our aspirations grow and adjust along with our bodies.
