Planes all the time!

Is it me or has the Swindon airspace become a lot more overcrowded in the last months?

It feels that there's either more or they're flying lower?

My area is not particularly remote/quiet but we can constantly listen to them.

Am I going cuckoo? 😂

Portrait sitters wanted for a documentary photography project on identity and place in Swindon

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm a photographer and mature photography student, studying a photography degree with the Open College of Arts. I'm starting a self-directed project, a documentary style piece looking at identity and place in Swindon, and portraits are the main part of it. I'm looking for people who'd be willing to sit for one.

I'm looking for two kinds of people: those who feel their identity is tied up in this town, and those who feel a disconnect from it. Either way, I'd like to hear from you.

A bit of context: this is coursework for my degree, currently on Unit 2.1. The photos may be shown to my tutor, used in my portfolio, and possibly shown publicly later on. Happy to talk through exactly what that means before we shoot.

As a thank you, you'll get a physical print and a digital copy of your portrait. It won't take more than an hour, and we can do it practically anywhere, we can discuss what location works best for you.

If you're interested, DM me, or find me on Instagram at ben.cremin and message me there. Feel free to comment with any questions

Thanks,
Ben
