Documentary photography
I thought I would share some images made by staff at Newport University's documentary photography dept. I am aiming to get to Newport in the next 2yrs or so. I think you will agree that some of the shots are amazing.

Seems we have similar tastes - Ken Grant stood out for me too. You'll fit in nicely Karen

Cheers

I like Ken Grant's stuff as well although I think Paul Reas editorial shots are really creative and well thought out. The road kill shots are good too, I'd imagine you would have some funny looks taking them though.

If anybody asks why you're taking pictures of roadkill you could say you're a trainee for CSI Dorset.
