Lightwaves 2017 at MediaCityUK, 100 Places and Faces
Produced in collaboration with the Blackpool Illuminations, these portraits of 100 FACES & PLACES represent a snapshot of Greater Manchester. The photographs were taken by people from each of the county’s boroughs; Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. The ‘faces’ include family and friends, young and old, from local workers to family pets. The ‘places’ capture special streets, architecture, schools and iconic buildings as perceived by the public. It is meant to provide a visual story of the boroughs, their inhabitants and locations.
