This is my 8 year old niece Ayana. She is the youngest of five and she is the only the only girl. Even though she is the smallest person in the house, she is, by far, the most dominant. She gets what she wants from any and everyone in the house. She definitely knows how to get her way. I chose her as my subject because everyone outside of the home thinks of her as an angel. She is an honor roll student and has been all through school, but at home, it's an entirely different story. Her brothers know better than that angel that everyone else sees.
I went to the house to watch my niece in action. I attempted to catch her in all of her dominant actions. In all of the photos, she showed some sort of dominance over everyone in the house, even the dogs! It's just so funny that she is actually small for her age but she has the power that she has. Although I spend around a lot of time with my niece and nephews, I never realized how much she shows her dominance over everyone. I've watched her grow and watched her slowly take advantage of her brothers in the slickest ways.
It was interesting that it only took me a couple of hours to catch fifty plus pictures of her is her moments of dominance. I didn't think it would be that easy. I guess she is a dominant person all day, she is not afraid to show it. She is a smart and fiesty all at the same time. She does show her dominance in school because it is hard for anyone to tell her no. It would be hard to deny a person that does any and everything and even more than what she is asked, it is just considered a reward to the teachers.

It's amusing how the third photo of her looking nice contrasts with the fifth photo in which she doesn't look as happy to be photographed.
ReplyDeleteNice work photographically capturing the spirit, and the “dominance”, of this child!
