Personal Statement The selection of photographs i have chosen to use are some of my favourite black and whites. All but one of these photos were taken on a trip to Chester and weren’t for the module but i ended up coming away with some really good shots which give you a real feel for Chester and it’s history. The Portrait of the women on the left is my mom and i took this photo for the abandonment project as i wanted to go for a deeper meaning and used divorce and events which provoke emotion as apose to deralict buildings. However i did give my mom scenarios to act out so she wasn’t as shy infront of the camera and i’m pretty sure this one was ‘coming home from work and the washing up’s not been done‘ Not exactly natural but i think the watery eyes make the image work the way i wanted it to.
