Documenting the colorful local
life of Birmingham’s markets; in particular the public and traders who use the
city center markets, I wanted to capture a genuine and unaffected sense of this
area of the city; a traditional place originally built in 1883, then demolished
and replaced by the creation of the new Wholesale Markets built in 1974, and with
its tradition of family inheritance passed down through generations.
The market is a busy spot with
different stalls selling all sorts of products from clothes to hot,
freshly-made, doughnuts all pulling in a multi-cultural crowd from all over Birmingham. It was
interesting to capture the diverse atmosphere and convey an interpretation of
their daily lives.
