As part of our effort to enter 'Young Fashion Photographer of the Year', we obtained authorisation to browse the plane yard. Our idea was to use this as the scene of our entry, as the planes would add a unique touch but this also showed the regeneration of the Bournemouth airport by showing a young, well presented young man in the picture; which in turn was a metaphor for what the airport is intending to be.
Instead, I got some great compositions and the colours in the area worked well together. It became more of a documentary of the effort to get the pictures done than actually taking the picture. It was great for my direction, looking at the derelict planes which have now settled as fire training equipment for the fire service. However, these planes were once proud products of Britain flying worldwide in some cases. (This project eventually led to a ride in a helicopter to top off a great day of photography)

Matt, your recent posts show such a great jump in maturity and understanding. -subtle observations and a mature restraint with compositions. Really promising work is unfolding. - genuinely excited! (- try to add your comments to the work of others you have included)
