Carrie Deans proposes a photography project with an urban theme, taking photos of buildings at Salford Quays. She is inspired by photographer Andrew Brooks' urban photos of Manchester and plans to edit her photos to achieve a similar feel. Carrie will take 50+ photos to have options for her final selections. She chose Salford Quays for its interestingly shaped buildings, street lamps, bridges, and night lighting, which align with her bright, vibrant, city-like vision. On November 19th from 9:30-12:30, Carrie will use techniques like rule of thirds and flash while considering risks like falling in the canal, geese attacks, attacks from others, and falling from bridges.

at least 50 + pictures so I

pictures of the interesting
buildings that are at the
quays to keep to the urban
theme photographs that I
want to create. I want to try
and make the pictures
bright and vibrant and city
like.

Salford Quays because of the
amount of buildings that they
have there. Some of the
buildings are interestingly
shaped which will help with the
urban theme im going for there

lamps and bridges and it is well
lit up at night to give me my
bright images that I want.
Andrew Brooks has given me
these ideas.
