From Graffiti to Typology — AS Photography trip to London

'Seb with Graffiti' by Edd Sampson (Lower 6th)

On Wednesday 2nd March, AS Photography students headed down to London to take photographs and visit galleries.

Having taken the train to Paddington and then the tube to Waterloo we walked over the river and along the Southbank to the Tate Modern. Despite the chilly breeze, students spent time documenting sights and events — such as the colourful graffiti, and a photo shoot happening on the river ‘beach’.

At the Tate we took in the view from the top floor and visited an exhibition called Typologies, showing artists who use photography to approach themes systematically, creating multiple images of similar subjects.

We then walked over Millennium Bridge and took the tube to The Whitechapel Gallery to see an exhibition of collaged photographs by John Stezaker and for a walk down Brick Lane.
