Photograph a street

Photograph as street

Become a photographer for an afternoon.

Choose a street or neighbourhood and take six photos of the area or, alternatively, make a five minute video. The area does not have to be your neighbourhood or the street you live on, as long as it is a place that means something to you.

As you complete the exercise, think about why you were drawn to your chosen area and what it means to you. Write a short explanation to accompany your photos/video where you reflect upon what you have chosen to photograph and why.

Photography and Video N.B

We ask you to consider the following before submitting your photographs or video. It is legal to take pictures of people when they, and you, are on public property or land. However, we ask you to show courtesy to people who are clearly recognisable in your images and first ask their permission to use the picture for the MOCO Project. For people who are below the age of 16, and clearly recognisable, you need to ask their legal guardians for permission.
