Photo shoot
For the bulk of this photo shoot I went to the Great Dorset Steam Fair where the largest selection of vintage fairground rides are on show. This meant there was a large variety of sign writing on show that I have attempted to photograph in a way that not only documents it but displays it in the natural setting while incorporating photographic techniques. Other photos where obtained from a close family friends yard where a number of fairground rides are undergoing restoration.
