About Me

My photo
Hello, Welcome to my blog! My style of photography is basically 'see something interesting and snap it'. I enjoy looking for things that nobody would have seen if it wasn't for my photo rather than taking photos of something everyone can recognise and has seen before.

Psychogeography - My approach

I started off taking photos of little things that would usually go a miss and suddenly found repetition in what I was capturing. My plan wasn't to follow any sort of plan or structure, I set out to just photograph anything. The same shape kept appearing in my work. Once I realised that I had been following a subconscious pattern I then began to deliberately pin point similar shapes.










As we got deeper into the city centre I lost intrest in following the shape pattern which I didn't intend on creating in the first place. I found some strange objects which you wouldn't expect to see on the floor in the city, they reminded me slightly of the work of Richard Wentworth. 
Someones pants in the middle of an almost empty car park.


I don't even know what this used to be a tin of.

Once again when getting more to the centre, objects and shapes became more of a rarity. I started to spot scnenes of intrest but still did find some unusual things.


I really enjoyed wondering around taking photots of anything, not having a plan to begin with but some how seemed to find one, stick with it for a little while but then move on and see what other things I could explore. I found that psychogeography gives you a very spontaneous approach to photography and it allows you to explore places which you wouldn't normally some across.
