Overall I feel as though my series does capture the ordinary, everyday street life of the Northern cities of Manchester, Liverpool, and the town of Bolton,with the relaxed atmosphere of the photographs, as it represents the daily happenings on the streets of the North in 2017, as well as particular issues within society such as Veganism and events during Donald Trump's presidential office.
I have captured the style of my artist reference photographers; Vivian Maier, Linda Wisdom, Cas Oorthyuys and Gian Butturini, through the editing process, i.e sharpening the photographs, the tonal contrasts, adding a black and white filter, and the square layout, imitating the polaroid prints which Vivian Maier and Cas Oorthyuys, as a result of the photographic development restrictions they had during their era of photography.

Colourbox series:
For this selection of photographs I took inspiration from Linda Wisdom's 'Colour Box' series, which captured street photography with bursts of colour. To achieve this effect I used Photoshop CS6 to drain the colour out of the background through decreasing the vibrance, and this brought out the colours of particular objects. It includes images from Liverpool and Manchester.
