Shoot Four- Graffiti Straight Images

As it was dark in Leake Street, my Shutter speed was quite lower and this meant when a skateboarder came past it blurred him out, yet I think this has had a really interesting affect into showing youth combined with the graffiti on the walls. This is because you can't really tell who this person is and he almost blends into the background, therefore I find this image links well with the work of Dan Boulton as shown on my research log and can show how my research has helped influence both what I took and how I chose to edit my final images- black and white in order to gain a gritty feel to the images.

When first walking into Leake Street, there were lots of passers by, including this couple. The use of documentary work in this shoot I believe has worked really well as I think it shows a raw insight of youth today in London. Furthermore, I saw these two coming from behind me so I could have taken their photo of their faces, however I chose to take it after they had passed me because this way, their identity is kept but also my audience will be lead to work out the subjects on their own.

At the opening of the Leake Street tunnel was a group of people adding to the graffiti so I was able to take a photo of one of them, they knew I was there yet continued to carry on. I think this image clearly shows the rebellion of youth because out of context people may see this subject as vandalising a wall, yet in context, it was taken within Leake Street, a designated place for people to use graffiti as a form of expression and art.

Another aspect of photography I have found whilst researching documentary is through the use of the photographer William Eggleston by using what is available, not manipulating it, just changing the angle I take the photo. If I were to take a photo of this drink bottle when stood up and looking down at it, it wouldn't give the same effect.

This image was taken outside a club/ gig called The Vault which is placed in the middle of Leake Street. Outside was one of the workers who appeared to be quite miserable and wanted to be else where. With this emotion through body language combined with the graffiti on the walls behind her I believe it works really well in displaying the anti social subculture of youth.
