'The current global recession and the impact on large businesses is detailed in the media everyday. However, a large proportion of the British workforce are in fact self employed, a status that I aspire to myself. This series of portraits highlights the silent victims of the recession, the self employed.
The skill in photography is having the vision of how you want a photograph to finish. When I compose an image in my mind, I see the final image.
However, for this project the final images are not the only story. By displaying the pre-edited it offers an insight into a photographer’s vision, the small details that transform an image from OK to interesting.
Come with me as I highlight, improve and manipulate images to achieve my vision.'
