When I received my new brief for the Professional Practice module from Moira Lovell, I was disappointed as usual that it was not something I thought I was going to enjoy. How I was proved wrong! The module looked at the topic of re-photography, and how the changing landscape can be documented by using photographs from the archive in Salford and comparing them with the modern day landscape. Our given area was Eccles, and I looked into the work of Nicky Bird and how she compared the landscape in Scotland to photographs she captured a number of years before. Although I am based as a fashion and advertisement photographer, I really enjoyed this brief and found it extremely rewarding. I plan to do some more re-photography in my local area before I go to America this summer, and display some within my solo photography exhibition that I have secured in October.
