Searching for Location
Heres some of the photographs i took whilst out on a walk around Hartlepool searching for a location to use in this project. Its useful to have a location and subject matter already planned when having to carry and use such a large and heavy camera.
As mentioned in my last post, terraced housing is something which i am particularly interested in capturing images of, however something which i had not found interest in until going on this walk was Bill boards. I found the bold striking images plastered across the bill boards contested very interestingly with the surroundings. I think its interesting to see what is actually advertised on the Bill boards, in this case it was often Alcohol. The billboards stand for consumerism and emphasise the importance of money and luxuries in life such as drinking alcohol and watching TV; two things which are obviously pretty much impossible without money. I find it quite contradictory to see such things advertised in such a glamourised way when often the surrounding areas were very much the opposite.
