Industrial Estates
The other side of Britain.
Industrial estates on weekday mornings - the vans, the workers, the functional architecture, the businesses that keep everything running but never appear in anyone's photographs.
How to shoot it: Weekday mornings, when the vans are moving and the units are open. Shoot the functional architecture, the signage, the workers on a break, the whole overlooked machinery of working Britain. Flat light suits the deadpan subject, and a wide lens holds the scale of car parks and sheds. Almost nobody photographs this, which is exactly why the record matters, so shoot it plainly and completely.
The output: A document of working Britain that's almost entirely absent from photography.
Any.
Go to an industrial estate on a weekday morning. Photograph the workers and the work.
