New Brighton, 1984
Tom Wood
Contextual links to THE PROM project of mine. Choice of characters, location and focus. I like the inclusion of more than one person and with some of the subjects not looking in the photographer's direction. An interesting concept considering my communication and interaction with my subjects.

A quick video of THE PROM photobook now that it's all ready for printing - ordered from blurb and on it's way ready for the Degree Show at Chester University. We're getting close! Countdown is on!
I chose to have my photo book printed hardcover image wrap. I was inspired by the photobook work of Tom Wood and Rob Bremner.

Catalogue Statement for BA Hons Photography Degree Show at Chester University.
‘The Prom’ is nestled alongside the River Mersey and Irish Sea estuary. Walking along the waterside, the diversity of people the prom attracts became clear. From pirates to ex-locals, dog-walkers and fishermen; each person has a personal connection.
I seek to capture a moment– of a singular place and time. I gravitate towards those that stand out from the crowd. I ask these strangers for their portrait, making the image there and then before they can think too much. These honest representations depict a journey and with that I want to encourage stories and memories to emerge.
The work creates a narrative and as such the people pictured provoke contemplation within each of us. Each line, blemish, expression is a culmination of life experiences unique to that person – a significantly beautiful notion. I document an individual working through life’s everyday trials, choosing to spend that moment walking along ‘The Prom’.

Plan for the layout of the Final Show.
I will be exhibiting a set of three monochrome digital prints on Foamex with a lustre finish alongside a photobook containing the images from the ongoing project. The wall mounted prints will be A2 in size, two portrait orientation and one landscape orientation. I have ordered these prints directly from C41s in Ellesmere Port.

Top: Consett, County Durham, England, 1974 - by Don McCullin
Bottom: My photo subconsciously inspired by McCullin during my second shoot.
An inspired photo - subconsciously taken in response to the work of Don McCullin. I've seen the top photograph so many times I took this photograph and suddenly remembered where I'd seen something similar before.
