This was completed for “People in the Countryside”. I wanted to get a classic black and white social-documentary style shot. This was taken at a local countryside fair. I knew the woodturner would be there, and I was aiming to get a shot like this. What I like about the composition is that it is a photograph of a woodland activity, but with a building in the background, which makes for a “clash” of images. If it had been in a woodland environment then I think it would have been a less interesting picture. Converting to black and white has worked well. The main feedback from my tutor was “I’d like to see more hands” – I think he was right…
