Sigmar Polke Analysis.

Sigmar Polke was a German painter and photographer from Cologne, Germany whose work focuses a lot on documenting various landscapes, street environments and societal areas within Germany as well as the human impact on the landscapes that he is documenting within his photographs as well as the effects that we may have on our society and the environments that we live in, using the formal elements of lighting, colours and compositions. For this artist analysis, I will be specifically looking at his street and landscape photographic series that he has created using a combination of paint and liquid emulsion and other chemicals in  response to the theme of 'Society' for this project. I decided to document and research the work of Sigmar Polke in relation to this theme as I intend to take a series of photographs that document the urban society that I live in and around - such as Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley - and the impact that we have on our own society such as graffiti, street art, construction, homelessness and the general lack of care that we show our society and the environments that we live in. This is something that I felt inspired by whilst researching and analysing the work of Sigmar Polke as I really like how he uses the formal elements of colour and composition to draw attention to minor details within the landscape or street environment that he is documenting within his photographic work in order to emphasize or highlight the type of society and people that live in these environments and how they may have constructed and effected the landscape around them.

Many of Sigmar Polke's photographs are kept central using the rules of thirds with a range of long-distance, closeups and mid-shot compositional angles in order to document the urban landscapes and the impact that we have on our society. Despite Sigmar Polke's photographs being based around the theme of landscape and street photography he tends to capture some of his imagery in the portraiture camera angle which I feel helps give his photographs the sense that the landscapes and street photography are very claustrophobic and gritty areas, similar to the work of Saul Leiter and William Eggleston.

A lot of the photographs that Sigmar Polke has taken in order to create his project are based around various urban landscapes and street environments

that make up the society that he is documenting within his work. He often focuses a lot of his landscape and street photographic works on the uses of the formal elements of lighting and colour as well as the composition of the photograph itself in order to emphasize specific areas of focus within his imagery whilst also making some of the street and interior photographs feel more claustrophobic and gritty due to the texture of the liquid emulsion and chemical techniques that the artist uses within his work, combined with the compositional angles of his images, which also helps to create a leading line of focus within his photography. This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own landscape photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by documenting photographs of the urban society using different tones, colours, lighting, compositions and editing techniques to highlight a specific element or section of the landscape or street that I will be documenting within my photographs to emphasize a theme of grittiness and claustrophobia of city life.

Within my own photographic response I have decided to take a series of landscape and street
photographs that will document the theme of 'Society' by photographing the different urban environments of Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley and the damages and lack of care that humans have for their own society within my photographs, focusing on the grit and grime that the city and town landscapes may have such as graffiti, homelessness, street art and damages to buildings and the like as well as the changes that we are often making to our own society such as construction sites and the demolishment of buildings.

Fabienne Rivory Analysis.

Fabienne Rivory is a French artist from France whose photographic work focuses a lot on documenting various rural landscapes in France as well as the human impact on these landscapes and the effects on society, using the formal elements of lighting, colour, tones and compositions. For this artist analysis, I will be specifically looking at her landscape photography project titled 'Miroir' in response to the theme of 'Society' for this project. I decided to document the work of Fabienne Rivory in relation to this theme as I intend to take a series of photographs that document the urban society that I live in and around - such as Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley - and the impact that we have on our own society such as graffiti, street art and the general lack of care we show our society and the environments that we live in as well as the constant changes that we are making to them. This is something that I felt inspired by whilst researching and analysing the work of Fabienne Rivory as I really like the gritty style her photographs gain through the heavy contrast of monochromatic tones and the selective colouring that she uses within her landscape photographs and how she uses that to create a focal point within a specific section of her photographs and it could therefore be an editing style that I take inspiration from and reference within my own photographic responses to this project.

Many of Fabienne Rivory's photographs are kept central using the rules of thirds and long distance
compositional angles in order to document her rural landscapes and the impact that we have on our society. Since Fabienne Rivory's work is based on creating a series of landscape based photographs or rural environments in France that may or may not have been affected by human life and nature, the artist takes a lot of photographs of these landscapes to capture the natural beauty of them as well as creating a stark contrast between the monochromatic tones of the original photograph and the bright colours that she adds using inks and watercolour paints to create a focal point within a specific section of the image.

A lot of the photographs that Fabienne Rivory has taken in order to create her project are based around various rural landscapes and the natural beauty of the landscapes that she is documenting

within her work. She often focuses a lot of her photographic work on the uses of natural lighting, colour and tones within her photographs, creating a stark contrast between the monochromatic tones of the imagery and the bright colours that she adds with watercolour paints and inks, to draw her target audience's attention to the rural landscape that she is photographing. This in turn creates a bold focal point within her photograph and draws her target audience's attention to the landscape within the monochromatic photograph, highlighting specific sections of the imagery she creates. This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own landscape photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by adding highlights of colour into the photographs that I will be taking to draw my own target audience's attention directly to specific sections or items in the landscape and urban society that I will be documenting within my work.

Within my own photographic responses I have decided to take a series of landscape photographs that will respond to the theme of 'Society' by photographing the different urban environments of Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley and the damages and lack of care that humans have for their own society within my photographs, focusing on the grit and grime that the city and town landscapes may have such as graffiti, street art and damages to buildings and the like as well as the changes that we are often making to our own society such as construction sites and the demolishment of buildings.

Mauren Brodbeck Analysis.

Mauren Brodbeck is a Swiss multisensory artist and photographer from Geneva, Switzerland whose photographic work focuses a lot on documenting various urban landscapes and societies in Switzerland as well as the human impact on these landscapes and the effects we have on our society, using the formal elements of lighting, tones, colours and compositions. For this artist analysis, I will specifically be looking at her landscape photograph series titled 'Urban Landscapes' in response to the theme of 'Society' for this project. I decided to document the work of Mauren Brodbeck in relation to this theme as I intend to take a series of photographs that document the urban society that I live in and around - such as Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley - and the impact that we have on our society such as graffiti, street art and the general lack of care we show our society and the environments that we live in as well as the constant changes that we are making to them. This is something that I felt inspired by whilst researching and analysing the work of Mauren Brodbeck as I really like the gritty style that her photographs have through the documentation of the cityscapes and buildings around her as well as the way she highlights specific sections of her photographs through the use of selective colouring and this could therefore be an editing style that I could take inspiration from and reference within my own photographic responses to this project.

Many of Mauren Brodbeck's photographs are kept central using the rules of thirds and long-distance compositional angles in order to document the urban landscapes and the impact that we have on our society. Since Mauren Brodbeck's work is based on creating a series of landscape-based photographs of urban environments in Geneva, Switzerland that may or may not have been affected by human life and nature, the artist takes a lot of photographs of these landscapes to capture the natural beauty of them as well as the changes that have been made to the same landscape over the years.

A lot of the photographs that Mauren Brodbeck has taken in order to create her project are based around various urban landscapes and the manmade beauty of the landscape that she is documenting within her work. She often focuses a lot of her photographic work on the uses of selective colouring by highlighting a specific section of her photograph with a solid block of colour filling in the shape of a building or a construction site that she has photographed. By documenting the landscape using this technique it helped to draw her target audience's attention to a specific element of her society-based photographs, with the focal point being emphasized through the use of leading lines created by the pavement and the roads within the urban societies. This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own landscape photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by documenting photographs of the urban society and using the selective colouring technique to highlight a specific element or section of the landscape that I will be documenting within my photographs.

Within my own photographic response I have decided to take a series of landscape photographs that I will use to respond to the theme of 'Society' by photographing the different urban environments of Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley and the damages and lack of care that humans have for their own society within my photographs, focusing on the grit and grim that the city and town landscapes may have such as graffiti, street art and damages to buildings and the like as well as the changes that we are often making to our own society such as construction sites and the demolishment of buildings.

William Eggleston Analysis.

William Eggleston is an American photographer from Memphis, Tennessee whose work focuses a lot on documenting various landscapes, street environments and societies within the United States of America as well as the human impact on these landscapes and the effects that we may have on our society and the environments we live in, using the formal elements of lighting, colours and compositions. For this artist analysis, I will be specifically looking at his street and landscape photography series in response to the theme of 'Society' for this project. I decided to document and research the work of William Eggleston in relation to this theme as I intend to take a series of photographs that document the urban society that I live in and around - such as Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley  - and the impact that we have on our society such as graffiti, street art, construction, homelessness and the general lack of care we show our society and the environments that we live in. This is something I felt inspired by whilst researching and analysing the work of William Eggleston as I really like how he uses the formal elements of colour and composition to draw attention to minor details within the landscape or street environment that he is documenting within his photographic work in order to emphasize or highlight the type of society and people that live in this environment and how they may have constructed and affected the landscape around them.

Many of William Eggleston's photographs are kept central using the rules of thirds with a range of long-distance, closeup and mid-shot compositional angles in order to document the urban landscapes and the impact that we have on our society. Despite William Eggleston's photographs being based around the theme of landscape and street photography he tends to capture some of his imagery in the portrait camera angle which I feel helps give his photographs the sense that the landscapes and street photographs are being taken of very claustrophobic areas, similar to the work of Saul Leiter.

A lot of the photographs that William Eggleston has taken in order to create he project are based around various urban landscapes and street environments that make up the society that he is documenting within his work. He often focuses a lot of his landscape and street photographic work on the uses of the formal elements of lighting, colour and composition of the photograph itself in order to emphasize specific areas of focus within his imagery whilst also making some of his street and interior photographs feel more claustrophobic due to taking the photograph in the portraiture composition, which also helps to create a leading line of focus within the imagery the artist creates. This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own landscape photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by documenting photographs of the urban society using different tones, colours, lighting and compositions to highlight a specific element or section of the landscape or street that I will be documenting within my photographs to emphasize a theme of grittiness and claustrophobia of city life.

Within my own photographic response I have decided to take a series of landscape and street
photographs that I will document the theme of 'Society' by photographing the different urban environments of Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley and the damages and the lack of care that humans have for their own society within my photographs, focusing on the grit and grime that the city and town landscapes may have such as graffiti, homelessness, street art and damages to buildings and the like as well as the changes that we are often making to our own society such as construction sites and the demolishment of buildings.

Bill Brandt Analysis

Bill Brandt was a photojournalist and landscape photographer from Hamburg, Germany whose photographic work focuses a lot on documenting various rural and urban landscapes and the human impact on these landscapes as well as the use of the formal elements of lighting, tones and compositions. For this artist analysis, I will be specifically looking at his landscape photographs in response to the theme of 'Society' for this project. I decided to document the work of Bill Brandt in relation to this theme as I intend to take a series of photographs that document the urban society that I live in and around - such as Croydon, Kingston and London - and the impact that we have on our society such as graffiti, street art and the general lack of care we show our society and the environments that we live in as well as the constant changes that we are making to them. This is something I felt inspired by whilst researching and analysing the work of Bill Brandt as I really like the gritty and monochromatic style that his photographs have and it could therefore be an editing style that I take inspiration from and reference within my own photographic responses to this project.

Many of Bill Brandt's photographs are kept central using the rules of thirds and long-distance shot
angles in order to document his chosen urban and rural landscapes and the impact that we have on our society. Since Bill Brandt's work is based on creating a series of landscape-based photographs of rural and urban environments that may or may not have been affected by human life and nature, the artist takes a lot of photographs of these landscapes to capture the natural and manmade beauty of them.

A lot of the photographs that Bill Brandt has taken in order to create his project are based around various rural and urban landscapes and the natural and manmade beauty of the landscapes that he is documenting within his work. He often focuses a lot of his photographic work on the uses of natural lighting, tones and leading line compositions within his photographs, creating stark monochromatic tones within his landscape photographs that draw his target audience's attention to the lighter tones within the landscape, often created by the artificial and natural lighting reflecting off of water or cobblestones on the buildings, pavements and roads. This in
turn creates a leading line of view within his photographs as the target audience's attention is instantly drawn to the leading line created by the road, pavement or a river of water dissecting the centre of his photographs, leading their attention from the foreground of the image further into the background.

This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by adding a leading line of focus within my own photographs that could draw the attention of my own target audience into the landscape and society that I will be documenting within my work. Within my photographic response I have decided to take a series of landscape photographs that will document the theme of 'Society' by photographing the different urban environments of Croydon, Kingston and London and the damages and lack of care that humans have for their own society within my photographs, focusing on the grit and grime that the city and town landscapes may have such as graffiti, street art and damages to buildings and the like as well as the changes that we are often making to our own society such as construction sites and the demolishment of buildings.

John Davies Analysis.

John Davies is a English photographer from County Durham, England whose photographic work focuses a lot on documenting various rural and urban landscape in Ireland, Scotland and England as well as the human impact on these landscapes and the effects on society, using the formal elements of lighting, tones and compositions. For this artist analysis, I will be specifically looking at his landscape photography series titled 'British Isles' in response to the theme of 'Society' for this project. I decided to research the work of John Davies in relation to this theme as I intend to take a series of photographs that document the urban society that I live in and around - such as Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley - and the impact that we have on our society such as graffiti, street art and the general lack of care we show our society and the environments that we live in as well as the constant changes that we are making to them. This is something that I felt inspired by whilst researching and analysing the work of John Davies as I really like the gritty style his photographs gain through the heavy contrast of monochromatic tones and the way that the artist documents changes within the landscape by returning to the same place in different years to document the changes within his photographs. This could therefore be an editing style and photographic method that I could take inspiration from and reference within my own photographic responses to this project.

Many of John Davies' photographs are kept central using the rules of thirds and long distance
compositional angles in order to document the rural and urban landscapes and the impact that we have on our society. Since John Davies' work is based on creating a series of landscape-based photographs of rural and urban environments in Ireland, Scotland and England that may or may not have been affected by human life and nature, the artist takes a lot of photographs of these landscapes in order to capture the natural and manmade beauty of them as well as the changes that have been made to the same landscape over the years.

A lot of the photographs that John Davies has taken in order to create his project are based around various rural and urban landscapes and the natural and manmade beauty of the landscape that he is documenting within his work. He often focuses a lot of his photographic work on the uses of natural lighting, tones, leading lines and changes to the environments that he documents within his photographs. By documenting the same society and landscape within his photographs helps to show the changes being made as the impact that we all have on the societies that we live in as well as the passage of time within his photographic work, this in turn creates a bold focal point within his work and draws his target audience's attention to the landscape within the monochrome photographs through the use of leading line compositions - created by the roads and rivers that are documented within the imagery that John Davies creates. This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own landscape photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by documenting photographs of the same society based landscape at different times during the day to show the changes that have happened over the span of a few hours.

Within my own photographic responses I have decided to take a series of landscape photographs that will document the theme of 'Society' by photographing the different urban environments of Croydon, Kingston, London and Bromley and the damages and lack of care humans have for their own society within my photographs, focusing on the grit and grime that the city and town landscapes may have such as graffiti, street art and damages to buildings and the like as well as the changes that we are often making to our own society such as construction sites and the demolishment of buildings.

Daniella Zalcman Analysis.

Daniella Zalcman is a Vietnamese American documentary photographer from Paris, France and New York, United States of America whose photographic work focuses a lot on documenting various urban and rural landscapes and the human impact on these landscapes as well as the use of the formal elements of lighting, colour and compositions. For this artist analysis, I will be specifically looking at her landscape photographs in response to the theme of 'Society' for this project. I decided to research the work of Daniella Zalcman in relation to this theme as I intend to take a series of photographs that document the urban society that I live in and around - such as Croydon, Kingston and London - and the impact that we have on our society such as graffiti, street art, homelessness and the general lack of care that we show our society and the environments that we live in as well as the constant changes that we are making to them. This is something that I felt inspired by whilst researching and analysing the work of Daniella Zalcman as I really like the gritty style her photographs gain through the use of the double exposure technique which she uses to compare and contrast the cityscapes of New York and Paris and it could therefore be a editing technique that I take inspiration from and reference within my own photographic responses to this project.

Many of Daniella Zalcman's photographs are kept central using the rules of thirds and long distance
shot angles in order to document her urban and rural landscapes and the impact that we have on our society. Since Daniella Zalcman's work is based on creating a series of landscape based photographs of rural and urban societies that may or may not have been affected by human life and nature, the artist takes a lot of photographs of these environments to capture the natural and man-made beauty of them as well as comparing the similarities and differences of the two different cityscapes that she has double exposed within her photographs.

A lot of the photographs that Daniella Zalcman has taken in order to create her project are based around various rural and urban landscapes and the natural beauty of the landscape that she is documenting within her work. She often focuses a lot of her photographic work on the uses of natural lighting, colours and leading line compositions within her photographs, creating a stark contrast between the two different city landscapes that she

double exposes into on image, using roads and pavements to draw her target audience's attention to the different angles and structures of the landscapes within the photographs she takes. This in turn creates a leading line of view within her photographs as the target audience's attention is instantly drawn to the leading line created by the road, pavements or river of water dissecting the centre of her photographs, leading their attention from the foreground of the image further into the background to draw attention to the contrast she is trying to create from the two cities. This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own landscape photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by adding a leading line of focus within my own photographs that could draw the attention of my own target audience into the landscape and society that I will be documenting within my work.

Within my own photographic response I have decided to take a series of landscape photographs that will document the theme of 'Society' by photographing the different urban environments of Croydon, Kingston and London and the damages and lack of care that humans have for their own society within my photographs, focusing on the grit and grime that the city and town landscapes may have such as graffiti, street art, homelessness and damages to buildings and the like as well as the changes that we are often making to our own society such as construction sites and the demolishment of buildings.

Saul Leiter Analysis.

Saul Leiter was an American photographer and painter from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania whose work focuses a lot on documenting various landscapes and societies in New York as well as the human impact on these landscapes and the effects that we may have on our society, using the formal elements of lighting, tones, colours and compositions. For this artist analysis, I will be specifically looking at his street and landscape photography series in response to the theme of 'Society' for this project.

This is something I felt inspired by whilst researching and analysing the work of Saul Leiter as I really like the gritty style that his photographs have through the documentation of the cityscapes and buildings around him and the way he highlights specific elements or areas of the photographs through his use of composition, lighting, colour and tones which could help influence an editing style that I could take inspiration from and reference within my own photographic responses to this project and theme.

Many of Saul Leiter's photographs are kept central using the rules of thirds with a range of long-
distance, closeups and mid-shot compositional angles in order to document the urban landscapes and the impact that we have on our society. Despite Saul Leiter's photographs being based around the theme of landscape and street photography he tends to capture a lot of his imagery in the portraiture camera angle which I feel helps give his photographs the sense that the landscapes and street photography are very claustrophobic and gritty areas which is also emphasized by his use of the formal elements of tone, colour and lighting.

A lot of the landscapes that Saul Leiter has taken in order to create his projects are based around various urban landscapes and street environments that make up the society that he is documenting within his work. He often focuses a lot of his landscape and street photographic work on the uses of the formal elements of lighting, colour, tones as well as the composition of the photograph itself in order to emphasize specific areas of focus within his imagery whilst also making the street and landscapes feel more gritty and claustrophobic through his photo editing techniques and lighting, whilst also creating a

leading line of focus within his photography. This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own landscape photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by documenting photographs of the urban society and using different tones, colours, lighting and compositions to highlight a specific element or section of the landscape or street that I will be documenting within my photographs to emphasize a theme of grittiness and claustrophobia of city life.

Ansel Adams Analysis.

Ansel Adams is an environmentalist and landscape photographer from San Francisco, California whose photographic work focuses a lot on documenting various rural landscapes and the human impact on these landscapes as well as the use of the formal elements of lighting, tones and composition. For this artist analysis, I will be specifically looking at his landscape photographs in response to the theme of 'Society' for this project.

He often focuses a lot of his photographic work on the uses of natural lighting, tones and leading line compositions within his photographs, creating stark monochromatic tones within his landscape photographs that draw his target audience's attention to the lighter tones within the landscape, often created by the natural lighting reflecting off of water or highlighting the natural structure of the mountains and stones. This in turn creates a leading line of view within his photographs as the target audience's attention is instantly drawn to the leading line created by the river of water or pathway dissecting the centre of his photographs, leading them further back into the image.

This is something that I could potentially take inspiration from within my own landscape
photographic work responding to the theme of 'Society' by adding a leading line of focus within my own photographs that could draw the attention of my own target audience into the landscape and society that I will be documenting within my work.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES.


Double Exposure:

•  I could potentially use this technique of editing my photographic prints to compare and contrast two different environments or areas within two different societies and how areas are constantly changing due to the construction, deconstruction, community usage and damages etc.
• The use of this technique would also cause the photographs of the city and street environments within our society to look grittier and dirtier which could be good to emphasize certain misuses of the societies that we live in and how we as a community could help to change this. 
• Show the similarities and differences between two different areas of our society - relating to human impact, both positive and negative. 
• This could also help to create a impactful leading line of focus within my photographic responses to this project, regarding the themes of society.
• Artists I could research in regards to this technique are - Daniella Zalcman and Jasper James. 

Monochrome and Selective Colouring:

•  I could potentially use this technique to create gritty and atmospheric street and city photographs to emphasize the negative side of human impact within the societies that we live in such as construction, dirt, graffiti, litter, loss of animals and wildlife. 
• This technique could also be combined with selective colouring to highlight or emphasize specific areas that I would like my target audience to focus on whilst viewing my work, the colours would be muted but still bright enough to draw attention - paint, ink or digital colouring. 
• Artists I could research in regards to this technique are - Fabienne Rivory, Maurizio Anzeri and Mauren Brodbeck. 

Liquid Emulsion and Darkroom Prints:

•  Using this technique within my photographic responses to theme of 'Society' would create and emphasize gritty urban landscapes and city or streets views of the different societies that we all live in - relating to human impact and the negative we have on where we live. 
• The dark contrast and grain of using a film camera would be a design choice that would also help to emphasize and make the photographs look dirtier and grittier.
• Artists I could research in regards to this technique are - Sigmar Polke, Ansel Adams and Bill Brandt.

IDEA TWO.

IDEA TWO.

Idea: For this idea I would be focusing on documenting the theme of 'Society' through landscape, narrative and documentary photography focusing more on the negative aspects that the community has on their own society and things that need to be improved upon by all members of that society such as homelessness, gang, knife and drug crime. By doing this I hope to create a intense series of photographic works that would hopefully inspire a lot of reflection and discussion by my target audience in the hopes that my art piece could even inspire changes within the societies that we live in. 

Themes: For this idea I would be focusing on the themes of landscape, narrative and documentary photography to create a response based solely around the theme of 'Society' and the negative effects that we have and cause on our own societies such as gang, knife and drug crime as well as people effected by homelessness in the hopes that I could potentially inspire some form of change to happen through the target audience of my photographic work, in the hopes that at least it would encourage people to further support and guide their communities within the society they live to make changes for a better and more inclusive life for all. 

Locations: For this idea I would take my photographs in these locations:

•  Kingston
• Croydon
• London
• Bromley
• Kent
•  Whitechapel, London 

Photos Needed: For this idea I would be focusing on documenting the negative aspects of our societies and the areas that really need support, advice and guidance from the community in order to really make a change on the societies that people live in such as gang, knife and drug crime and even homelessness and the impact it can have on the attitudes and mindsets of other people who witness the aftermath of these unresolved issues that we all witness on a daily basis. So my for my responses to this project I decided that I would focus on creating controversial photographic pieces that highlight the different areas within the societies that we all live in and how we can all really help to make a different, even just through raising some form of awareness about it to a wider audience. 

IDEA ONE.

IDEA ONE.


Idea: For this idea I would be focusing on documenting a response that would be focused on taking a series of landscape photographs that would be focused on the environment and society that I was born in and grew up in my whole life in order to show how we are constantly changing and damaging the society and world that we live in.


Themes: For this idea I would be focusing on documenting a response based on landscape photography that would focus on the theme of society by photographing our impact on the societies that we live in and how we have a huge impact within these environments. To do this I would be focusing on creating a documentary and narrative style photographic series that would focus on the changes both positive and negative that we cause to where we live regarding graffiti, litter, damages and even construction.


Locations: For this project I could take my photographs in these locations:

• Kingston
• Croydon
• London
• Bromley
• Brick Lane, Whitechapel
• Whitechapel

Photos Needed: For this idea I would go into Croydon, Kingston, London or Bromley to take photographs that would document the different landscapes and societies that we all live in, focusing on the changes and positive and negative impacts that we may have such as crime, drugs, gang, demolishment, construction, homelessness, graffiti and litter and such.
