Home is something that I find hard to define.
I found myself asking myself over and over again as to what home is and what it means.
I searched the web and that still didn’t help me define what home is/was
RESEARCH
George Byrne was a influence to my work as he photographed buildings around cities.
Below is a link to an exhibition of images taken by George Byrne in the city of Los Angeles

John Davies is another photographer that photographed cityscapes.
Below is a link to an exhibition of John’s work that was taken in the British Isles from 1979 – 2009
Below are the six final images that i chose as my final images for my home brief.
I chose to photograph things that symbolised home to me.
I personally didn’t want to photograph any place where I live(d) in my hometown of Kingston upon Hull. As I have lived with many family members, I have no dwelling that I can pinpoint as my home.
The images that I have chosen as my final 6 are things that I always see when I go to my hometown. I always aim to go for walks into the city centre, typically in the nighttime as it is peaceful and there is something that I like about the city centre when it is peaceful, It could possibly be the binary opposite of what a city centre is expected to be.
