Music Culture Influences

After deciding what I wanted to do for my final piece of Uni work I started to look at approaches to my work.
A previous project I had done with a selection of my fellow students and photographer Len Grant started the ball rolling. The Didsbury 100 was a commissioned piece of artwork to celebrate the partnership of the Didsbury Sure Start Children's Centre and The Manchester College.

The work was 100 Portraits of Didsbury residents aged 1-100. The idea being that the skilled learnt early in life stay with you for life.

This is the final piece we produced.



Coupled with this I researched the work of Richard Avedon, in particular his series "In the American west".
The reason this series interested me was because of the mobile studio he used is the similar to what I will attempting to do.
Here are some examples of his work and his "mobile studio".
