CCTV

Due to my initial research for identity when taking photos of the objects around Manchester I decided not only to observe objects but also to survey people around me. I did this by using my own camera and a disposable to have varying qualities of photographs. I took these photos of random street scenes with a variety of different people appearing in each image and I did the same with the disposables. 

The disposable images were less detailed and therefore looked very similar to a CCTV image as they had a grainy quality. Also the colours appeared to be slightly muted drawing parallels with the black and white CCTV images. The most effective of these images were the ones that I took inside a shopping centre, having a birds eye view of the escalators because it seemed like it could be an actual CCTV camera observing a shop. The linear structure of the escalators broke up the image nicely, what I found surprising about these images was that the colouring came through in pink and blue.
