Met with other possible collaborators

We spoke initially about what happened in our last exhibition and we found that we scribbled down some initial ideas and when looking for an exhibition space, this completely changed. I think that the general idea in the meeting was to keep on mine and Natalie's exhibition A idea, that we could be in contact and collaborate with the general public, but push this idea, and what was exciting was that we could afford to with a bigger group.

We spoke about a number of ideas, for example, going out at night and photographing drunk people, getting permission from a nightclub or even just taking shots of shop owners with their shop. However, we then thought about documenting reactions from the general public, and maybe we could do something for them to react. Because we wanted to do something, rather than just photographing something, we came up with the idea of flash mobs.

So we researched flash mob videos on Youtube and got really into this idea of the 'not norm' and documenting people's reactions to this. For example Weegee's work. He has documented street photography of crime scenes or emergencies.

When two became five

I think that as Natalie and I worked so well together on Exhibition A, that some of our fellow peers were attracted to this, and therefore we were approached by Julie, Sharon and Sophia to collaborate with them in Exhibition B. I am very interested in working with other creative minds, so instantly thought that this would be a great opportunity for us to produce something big and really quite impressive.
