The Big Issue vendor Hazel continues to capture street photography in London
February 15, 2011 Blogs, Community, Exhibitions, Photography, Specialist projects, VolunteersToday we bring you Hazel’s final update following on from her first posting last week of photographs she is taking as part of a project in conjunction with The Big Issue to capture Big Issue vendors own unique view of London’s streets to form part of our exhibition London Street Photography which opens on Friday.
Having been briefed to capture life as its happens on the street and avoid posed pictures, Hazel has contributed the following ’street photographs’ for possible inclusion in the exhibition. This project finishes at the end of March after our fifth volunteer has submitted their images. It is planned that the chosen images from this project will be included in the exhibition from June.
Hazel’s final image featured on our blog sees an Evening Standard newspaper distributor reflectively lighting up a dark London evening and is accompanied by the following extract from Hazel’s diary:
“The Evening Standard has been part of London street life for 170 years. As commuters pass through one of London’s busiest stations,Waterloo, they pass hard and fast day in day out”…
Look out for our third volunteer Big Issue vendor’s images and thoughts in the coming weeks.
