What’s In Your Pockets?

For my final major project of my foundation year, I chose to explore identity through people's pocket contents. 
I spoke to a variety of people - friends in the studio, customers at the record shop I used to work in, my boss, strangers - to photograph what they were carrying in their pockets at that moment. The whole process was good fun and the results surprisingly revealed a lot about each individual. I wanted the books to be as simple as possible to let the pictures speak for themselves - the reader attaches their own meaning to the items so everybody gets a different idea of the owner. 
I bound all my findings together in two books: one full of the photographs alone with each pocket given a double page spread. For the second, I dipped the items in ink to print.
