Assignment 1: The theory and practice of contrasts

I have been working on 'contrast' photos for Assignment 1 for a few months now, and have finally submitted my work! It's an exciting feeling.
It's been a real challenge and very rewarding to have produced a group of photos that I'm happy with, some are stronger and some weaker, but I feel like overall I've achieved the objectives ... hopefully my tutor agrees with me!!
