Models

Models for Photo shoots.

I did not hire any models for photos, however a selection of my photos do include people, for example;
*The Macmillan Man
*Graffiti artist *Painter
*Woman knitting on the bus
*People lined up outside The Crucible

I didn't request for these people to show up and do what they were doing for the photos. These were people who I met whilst taking photos, and I politely explained the project to all of them and asked them if I could take a photo of them as I found them and the task they were doing creative. So my strategy for taking photos of people was to get verbal agreement from people who were willing to take part.

Although they all agreed for me to use their image for my college work, many of my angles were done so that their face wasn't seen fully as to protect their identities, (this didn't apply for The Macmillian Man, as a local celebrity he is easily recognisable and has his photo taken on a regular basis).

I didn't get the permission of people lined up outside The Crucible for me to take photos of them, as there were too many to get a verbal agreement from all of them, which also seems unlikely. However, I still took a photo of them as many people passing by took photos of the busy scene, as it's understandable that people would want to capture the unusual scene. Again, my angles were taken to avoid taking photos of people's faces. No one objected to me taking these photos and it showed people's strong appreciation for theatre.

Outside the train station I spotted a busking accordion player. I asked if I could take his photo. He said yes, but only for an amount of money which I found too high of a cost, so I didn't pay and respectfully didn't take his photo for the project.
