Me and my partner had to try and recreate Amina's first photograph and so, we highlights the keywords of her description. We couldn't get hold of the outfits in such little time and so we decided to focus on the things that we could potentially recreate. Therefore, we found 5 people and got them to stand in a line and mimic her description. However, she did not specify the gender of the people or the background and so we found 5 random people in a random background.
Amina's memory of her first photo
'5 of us standing in a line...in a tap dance class...exaggerated smiles...and hands on our hips'

'In my living room doing an Indian dance...was a sunny afternoon...and was wearing blue'

The pair who photographed my description, observed it in a conceptual light. Instead of mimicking my exact description, they played on the details of 'black background', 'missing teeth' and 'bare legs'. They found a mannequin with a missing toe, bare legs and a black shoe to represent this.
