When i presented my work on the city assignment so far via a slide show and brief outline of some of the themes i had began to explore, i didn't even get chance to show all ideas as when i reached the "fuck fashion, fuck vogue, fuck whats pretty" images, which document my friends on a night out everyone agreed it was a strong concept which i should continue to work on in response to the city brief.
We spoke about snapshot aesthetic and photographers such as Nan Goldin, Richard Billingham, Corinne Day, Natasha Caravana and Zed Nelson - all of which i plan to research.
In addition the social context of the images was discussed in regards to British Youth Culture, Ladette's and Binge drinking.
I plan to do a lot of reading to fully establish the social and contextual backbone of this project to ensure it is a strong assignment.
also came across a story on the men new website, (A cottonopolis post-apocalypse: Artist displays images of Manchester skyline in a nightmarish future) (http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1467324_a-cottonopolis-post-apocalypse-artist-displays-images-of-manchester-skyline-in-a-nightmarish-future)
