A sense of place...

For my latest project l am producing an exhibition for the Castlefield Gallery in Manchester. There are so many different ways to capture images whether it be through a Smartphone or a DSLR everyone can be a photographer.

The theme of the exhibition is a sense of place. I intend to produce a series of three photographs of derelict buildings in Cheshire and hopefully Manchester.

I want to photograph derelict buildings because of the sense you feel and have when you visit these places especially because of there history. They were once used places. Can you sense it? Can you feel anything? I want to answer these questions with my images.

My inspiration and influences for my work have come from reading urban exploration or Urbex fourms on the Internet such as (28dayslater). There is often a lot of history behind theses buildings which I will need to research before l visit. I intend to research photographers past and present such as Mark Blundell.

I am going to use both film and digital so I can see the difference in the photographs and if anything were to go wrong with the film I would have backed up images. I am going to use black and white 35mm film. I plan to experiment when creating my images by using different film and photographic techniques such as HDR. I will then use photoshop to enhance my images.

Slow Update...(Sorry)

I have finally heard which images have won the competition at Macclesfield Hospital which is exciting news :D

Keep your eyes open when you go in!
