Lion Farm Estate

A project that is similar to my idea of showing less known areas of Lincoln is Lion Farm Estate. I have never particularly delved into the realms of documentary photography and fancy having a go and telling a narrative.

I like how Lion Farm Estate begins with an establishing shot before using various different portraits and detail shots. I like the lighting and high contrast in a lot of the photos as well as the positioning of the people.

These are some of my favourite photos from the collection:

The angle and high contrast are what makes this photo particularly interesting. I like how the Mini, although quite poorly, is the brightest thing against the dull estate in this photo.

This makes me think of new formalism and I like the chosen colours and random objects in this photo. It adds a little detail and gives an insight into what people had in their homes on the estate.

I think I like the dog looking at the camera the most in this photo as his owner has not spotted that a photo is being taken of him. The photo also highlights how dead the estate is.
