Initial Ideas for Body

My Tasks for this Project are to photograph portraits of people who work and live in the Medway Towns. My Initial idea for this project is based on how are independent shops in the high street have been pushed into the background in favour of big chained super stores. I will be asking to photograph local business owners who are in the Medway such a Rochester High Street and then in contrast by photographing employees/managers of bigger chained stores. To achieve this I will have to negotiate access with the stores for photographic opportunities.
