A&P- first shoots

On 11th October I came for the first time to visit the halls is Pittville Campus to document student life. Since I live in a shared private house, I found in the halls new aspects about the struggles that living in close contact with many other people can bring. The main theme I want to explore in my project is the space, and I want to express through my shoots the feeling of claustrophobia and "invasion" that we all experience in our daily student life. I am using a wide angle lens and I am cropping the pictures to make the subject look like compressed in a strict area.

The main challenge of this project is the poor lightning condition I have to deal with. Taking picture indoor during this period of the year will require almost always the flash use that I have to properly bounce in order to get a nice lightning.

Many students have to work in order to support their studies. Here is one of my flatmates wearing his working uniform and having a quick meal before going to work.

In the shared cupboards there isn't often enough space, so many students buy extra conteiners for their groceries.
