Divide Within A City

With this shoot, I wanted to capture the ‘class divide and gentrification of Stonehouse’ .

During this shoot I found various graffiti spots ( find graffiti spots real name ) and used them as an element of the majority of my images . Continuing with my documentary photography, I wanted all of my images to be ‘in the moment‘ and not set up. This shoot differs from my related study as I decided to experiment with colour in my black and white. After editing, I felt that the colour was too interrupting with the focus of the shoot so I decided to strip them back to black. I felt like the tone was better for this particular piece.
