Churches next to betting shops. Faith and its alternatives.

Photograph places of worship and the commercial life immediately around them. The mosque next to the off-licence. The church hall hosting a car boot.

How to shoot it: Look for the single frame that holds both worlds, the mosque beside the off-licence, the church hall advertising a car boot. Shoot wide enough to keep the two elements in tension, and wait for a person to pass between them to tie it together. Weekends, when worship and commerce run side by side, give you the most to work with. Be respectful at the threshold.

The output: A series with visual and cultural tension built in.
