When our group came together we chose the Northern Quarter to take the photographs, this was due to the artistic and musically talented people who work and live their. It is well known that this area is bustling with professionals and graduates with artistic nature and flare. These people tend to be more open to getting involved in projects such as our groups and this is the reason why we have chosen this area.
We started off by confronting members of the public in the streets around the Northern Quarter however the strike rate of people stopping and talking was very low. We then as a group decided that it would be worth while if we modified our idea. I had the idea that we go into shops and ask the shop owners and workers if they would help us in our project. When we tried this, it worked with great outcomes so we decided to carry on with this technique. We focused on shops that we either knew would participate or are of an artistic nature. During the second shoot we were struggling to find anymore shops to participate who were of an artistic nature so we decided to broaden our horizon and target the rest of the shops around the area. I think that the second shoot lacked something from the first shoot because we had exhausted the people we could target. We still managed to work together as a team and to produce some great outcomes.
