Picture this is a talent competition on channel 4, each week the contestants get a couple of photography briefs and have to exhibit their best photos to the judges, the winner gets their own exhibition and a book. I hadn't seen it before, but this week they took them to a polo match, a hackney council estate and a protest at heathrow, to try documentary photography. My favourite was the young girl, who manipulated each situation to create a portrait photo, that were both realistic but somehow dramtic. This is probably my favourite type of photography, turning banal surroundings into something unusual, which is maybe why i like taking photos at night, things always look dramatised at night!
