Fred Perry

I have been using Flickr for years. I never expected to gain anything out of it, it was mainly just a way of managing my photos online. I have always updated it regularly and have mainly spent my time on there looking at the photographs of others. Recently I was contacted through Flickr by the director of an advertising agency in Nottingham who also happened to be the art director of the Fred Perry advertising campaigns. He came across my Flickr (and lucky for me) liked what he saw.

So he asked me to do the development photography for the Fred Perry Subculture Project. I had to produce 5 images for the beginning of June. So here are some of the images I made, using polaroid and my Bronica medium format camera.

It's Final

Lately, I have been so busy. Finishing uni, moving to Broadstairs, finding a full-time job etc. We have only just got the internet in our flat and I have been intending to post my final polaroids on here for a while now. What could be a better time to do than on the night I find out my final marks? I'm feeling quite happy that it has come to and end and now all I have left to do is to attend my graduation ceremony.

I had almost 100 polaroids to choose from, I think I'd go back and edit them again if I could but the idea of this work is to view them as one image rather than individual images. Hence the reasoning behind me making a concertina book.
