Urban Portraits

Location – Manchester

Research – Zed Nelson

How and why he felt compelled to shoot the way and location that he did to produce the work about Hackney.

When shooting, I have found that there is a strong likelihood of people not wanting to be photographed. This became a problem due to the way that I wanted to shoot. However, I looked at the situation from a different angle and shot using 105mm and 50mm to allow me to get closer and further away from people walking past. This just meant I had to be fast with the focusing and movement of my camera. This reminded me of.
