NYC Polaroid Project

New York City is probably my favourite place in the world. When I first visited in 2011, I had just began work on a new photography assignment from my A Level, based on genre. The genre I chose (or arguably 'sub-genre') was Street photography. When experimenting at the start of this unit I did a mini project creating my own version of the NYC Polaroid Project (take a look on nycpp.com).
For this I used photographs I had already taken on my digital SLR (as unfortunately I don't own a polaroid camera) and used software to give them a polaroid effect. As things progressed they remained in my sketchbook as a record, as my final project book included b&w reportage-style photographs (so they wouldn't have been appropriate). Never the less, here they are.
