Hi
I thought you might be interested to hear about a workshop that I recently organised in conjunction with The RPS.
One day in February 2015, 12 RPS photographers from all over the country converged at Sheffield.
The group, who had largely not met before, were part of an experiment to see what a group of photographers from different backgrounds could create, working to the same timescale on the same project and under tight deadlines.
The event was organised by the East Midlands Region of The RPS after a discussion between Stewart Wall and David Shapiro.
Park Hill was built in the late 1950s. The complex has 1000 flats, built to accommodate 3000 people. It fell into disrepair in the 1980s and 1990s but the complex is currently being modernised.
The photographers were given no direction as to what images to take – only that all the photographs had to be taken on that one day.
Their next target was to submit between 20 and 30 images just seven days later, and a written statement about 300 words long, explaining their approach.
All 12 photographers successfully met the deadline and the proof of a photobook was cleared ready for its first print run just 14 days after the photographs were taken.
Called “Streets in The Sky – A Dozen Perspectives”, the book’s first print run sold out within days.
Images and information about the project can be seen online at can be seen online at http://www.futureheritage.org.uk/parkhill/
