Orignal plan
Prior to Sedgefield Ball game when I was planning my shoot, I took time to sit and discuss my work and my intentions with my tutor. When looking back over my previous work which has always naturally followed a documentary style, I started to notice traits within my images which reoccurred throughout different shoots. I came to notice that majority of my work focus' heavily on people. I also noticed that when photographing events I appear to naturally be drawn to the concept of people socialising and being caught off guard at such events.
Picking up on this trait was vital in helping me move forward with my photography. With these traits in mind which I feel define my own personal work as a photographer, I wanted to make sure I carry on to emphasise and focus on these aspects which my eye often seems to be naturally drawn to. I feel these aspects in my documentary style photography are what could be what make me different and unique to many other photographers.
With the main focus of Durham Miners gala being a march to remember the Miners and any trade unions of today, large banners are marched through the city.
An example of my own work can be seen below. I feel my own work tends to be more lighthearted and focus' on people and the social aspect of the day. This wasn't something I actually intended to do, or something I went out with the intuitions to capture. It was in fact just what I was naturally drawn tho. This is therefore what I intend to carry on capturing in future projects.
