BOUNDS GREEN & EVERYTHING INBETWEEN
This project was a personal piece that looked at the environment and community of my local area, Bounds Green. With such a diverse and creative community full of history I set my self the project to produce an editorial piece that gives readers an insight into the area. An honest piece that reflects my personal view of the area as well as local residents of all ages and genders.
Photography:
The entire project was shot on 35mm black and white film which I scanned and retouched. I used my Contax SLR and a 50mm lense to shoot all the images to keep a uniform focal length.
Shooting on film allowed me to take more care with each shot and therefore resulted in a range of more considered images.
