This marked the day that I commenced taking the footage of my Nonna (grandmother) to be used for the Media Portrait.

This was both a rewarding and challenging task. Having lived a fast passed life in Melbourne for the better part of 4 years, time spent at home with my family has dramatically diminished. Being gifted the opportunity to sit down with my Nonna for an extended period of time and having the chance to finally delve into the parts of her life that have otherwise been undisclosed proved to be one of the most rewarding times spent with her. Although she was in front of a camera and prompted into opening up about aspects she would rather leave unnoticed, she managed to hold herself very well.

The total amount of footage captured was an astonishing 2 hours and 15 minutes. A lot more than the mere 2 minutes required to comply with the Media Portrait requirements, yet not nearly enough to fully understand the amazing life that she has lived and is still continuing to live.
