One thing you may not know about me is that I love photographing flowers, there are so many different colours and types and being able to capture that life in a picture always excites me. For this project I have to create a narrative through a set of images and although I wish I could just photograph flowers i know i need to look at the bigger picture, find anaas a mixture of old and new builds is Union Street. The new palace theatre on union street has been closed down for years and become derelict, but you know whats cool about it? It has plants and flowers growing out of the actual building!
In contrast to the derelict theatre, a few meters down the same street is the Genesis building. This new build is very unique and is the only one of its kind in the South West. It too has plants and flowers growing from its walls but they have been purposely planted and aren't just a result of nature.
By using these two buildings as the main focus point for my imagery, I hope to show that Union street can be a nice place to be. With a bit of love and attention maybe the victorian theatre can be restored to its former glory, after all people are investing money into new builds on the street.
