This photographic story follows the morning breakfast routine of a local French family in Loches. I felt as if this story is relatable to many people as breakfast is a simple, everyday routine that most people do in the morning. I used an iPhone 5s camera to capture these images and they have not been edited as when I tried to fix the brightness, the photo became really flat, so I decided to just not do it. In the future, I wish to be able to tell a more inspirational story through a photograph, like Alfred Eisenstaedt and his photograph of the couple kissing in Times Square, which is my favourite photograph.

For this story situated in Hong Kong, it follows a woman going to a cafe for a cup of coffee. I wanted to document this story as I felt that it was one of the simple pleasures of life, relaxing, eating a chocolate croissant with a cappuccino. This is what made it so interesting to me; that it was simple and ordinary, and relatable. I used an iPhone 5s camera to capture these photographs, and I have not made any edits to them as I felt as if there was really no need to do so. For the future, I would love to be able to take more of these photos of everyday life, and create a collection filled with them.
