A University Project that explores Abandoned Places around Lincolnshire, presenting the journey taken from my original idea to the final series and outcome.
Studying Contemporary Lens Media at the University of Lincoln, there are a series of abandoned places/settlements around the Lincolnshire area, I want to explore and investigate these various places and the stories behind them; the explanation of why they’re now abandoned and the fascinating story of what once lived there.
Each page goes into detail of the progress being made throughout the project, with profiles of the chosen villages showing the changes to the test shots and contact sheets showing the photographic process, the chosen final images.
With some of these environments older and others new, making up just a selection of the settlements in Lincolnshire that are abandoned. Taking into consideration that these villages are just small collection of dead establishments in Lincolnshire, it put into perspective the speed that these places come and go, whether in be completely “dying” or turning into a “shrunken” village.
