'London Moves'

The Busker's Circle.
Empty Southbank Benches.
Light & Trees.

A Rotating Carousel.
Londoner's Feet.

This is my first ever photography project (*eep*)!  We were given the task of choosing a particular concept/colour/situation - pretty much any singular idea that we thought might work in a series of photos.  Then we headed to Southbank and our tutor told us to go out there and capture our idea!  My idea was simple - movement.  I am so often drawn to this particular concept due to the beautiful stillness you can capture in a single object or person whilst also capturing movement in other objects/people around them/it.  It’s just so interesting having a subject matter absolutely still in the frame while there is a bunch of movement going on around them.  It’s like a person/object is stuck in perfect, serene calmness while there is a whole lot of madness happening around them/it.  I so often relate to this concept  as I believe that I’m a very driven person so when I have an idea or something that I’m passionate about I will generally jump right into it not thinking about the mess it could create around me.  I’m just so glad I could end the photography course with this set of photos, I’m very proud of what I have learnt in these past four days and I’m excited to see what lays ahead for me.
Anyway, I hope I look back on this one day and realise how far I’ve come … until then.
