My two main shoots took place on consecutive weekends one in Brighton, and the other back at home in Dorset. Both of the weekends yielded some good pictures which would provide the base for my final 6-8.
With the theme of my work now changed, albeit not dramatically, to that of markets in wanted to best capture the atmosphere of the North laine and London road areas of the town. I tried however to steer clear of a cliched view of the Laines, offering more of a fly on the wall/ documentary style and content, than a glib adoration the areas alternative way of life.
I think this approach did produce some good images, with minimal manipulation needed for them in the edit, this is mainly down to good lighting on the day, which meant pictures could be taken almost anywhere efficiently.
the second main shoot involved traveling to Wimborne in Dorset famous for its market which spreads both in doors and out. the shoot here was combined with sound recording; with the market being perpetually busy allowing for a decent amount of ambient sound. Again here i was aiming for a more realist approach to the work, composing the pictures within the frame, looking for little editing later. Even though it was a bright morning the inside shots of the market left a distinctly grainy feel, akin to that of Cartier-Bresson or Sander (see below). also i felt i had captured some images here which were simply 'everyday' but possessed a feeling of isolation; people browsing alone or the chairs and tables shown here empty and desolate.
both of the shoots went without any real problems and allowed for quick work in the edit.
