1 week to capture 100 examples of a subject or object. I've chosen to photograph a cross section of shop shutters across London. Look a little deeper and i found there's actually a very nice photographical quality to them. Uniformed yet individual, full of character and most importantly a strong shape compositionally. In order not to make it too easy for myself i decided that i would only include what i would call the 'classic' shutter, no chainlink security systems or mesh shop fronts would be acceptable. I had to work late in order to catch my subject down and because i was visiting locations right across the city this meant that i often found myself in spots i diddn't really want to be hanging out so late and with my slr. Everything was cool overall bar a couple potential near misses
Anyway, heres a few examples of my shutters before they get used in the project
I really enjoyed doing it and would love to set myself another personal project like this in the future. If you try and keep all the images uniformed in their composition and style the repetition of an image can be really effective.
