Peter Dench
A photographer which may help explain a little better the kind of photography I aim to produce during this project is Peter Dench. Peter Dench is a photographer I am very much inspired by and is a photographer I feel produces work similar to what I seem to also naturally want to produce myself. He seems to capture images of subject matter similar to what I am naturally drawn towards when using my own camera.
During this project of my Final Major I aim to capture images at events. These events will be british and what I aim to do through my own natural style is capture images of the social aspect of these events such as people drinking and socialising or celebration just as much as photographing the event itself. I am very drawn to people when I photographer and I see this similarity in attraction to photographing people in Peter Dench's work.
One particular project by Peter Dench which I feel I really relate to and take great inspiration from is that of 'Alcohol & England.'

Dench has photographed events such as the races and focused his images upon the British people specialising and drinking as appose to the actual races themselves. This is similar to a project Martin Parr has done and is something I have previously discussed about possibly trying myself.
I really like the way his images catch people off guard. His work does quite remind me of Martin Parr's with the bright and bold colours and the fact some of the images are very up close of people. When looking at this work I do feel this is exactly what I find trying to capture and it seems what he photographs is the kind of subject matter I am naturally drawn to also.
