Making Progress Exhibition Photos

I organised and set up an environmental exhibition called Making Progress. It was held in Beechwood Shopping Centre, Cheltenham from 21st-27th March 2010. It included work from myself, Jamie Mills, Alex Bland, Anita Davies, Ali Brazil, and Tim Hamilton.  

We raised some money for the local charity Global Foot Steps, as they send volunteers across the world to help with various sustainability issues. http://global-footsteps.org/

The exhibition in all was a success, hopefully one of many to come. Here's some images of the exhibition set up, launch, and workshop with Dr Morgan Phillips incase you couldn't make it.

Ferndale Wind Farm

I have been photographing a wind farm being constructed and set up in South Wales. I plan to document it until it is completed in a few months time. I am currently exhibiting some of these images in an environmental exhibition in Cheltenham, called Making Progress. Here are a selection of some of the images I have so far, in no particular order.

Squat

Below are some of my images from the squat I've been staying in in London over the past few months. The guys there have been incredibly welcoming and friendly, just like to thank them for putting up with me and Dean. 

I found the squat was pretty dark. I shot all my images on black and white film, and have scanned them all in. I had to either push 400ISO to 1600, or I used 3200 so I could get as much detail as possible in the dim lighting, and thankfully they haven't come out too grainy.

I'm using these images in a book for my publishing module, however I hope to carry on shooting to get a fuller and more intimate body of work.

The squat images are going to be a part of a bigger body of work which I hope to create on "alternative living". Last year I went to an eco-village in London, and visited some travelers near Dursley. I will upload those photos at some point soon, however I need to get more done. Never seem to have enough shots...

Anyway, let me know what you think. I know they seem to be very dark and sinister, but I refused to use a flash in my images. Wanted them to be as natural as possible, and without being too intrusive.

They are in no particular order.
