To influence the next part of 6 images we went to an exhibition to look at some photographers work on the quirky side of Britain. One of the main photographers was Peter Dench.
These 2 photographs are taken from his album called SummerUK. Peter chose to photograph the summer in Britain as we don't really have a summer apart from a couple of days of sunshine, but when the sun does shine the Britons like to organise days out and make the most of it.
These two photographs are about the English weather. If I could describe the weather in one word it would be RAIN! Which is why Peter Dench named this category RainUK.
Peter Dench has added teenage pregnancy into his LoveUK category because in all of Western Europe the UK has the highest teenage birth rate.
These two pictures are from Peter Dench's DrinkUk section. Peter states how Britain has turned into a binge drinking nation and younger people now are getting intoxicated. I think these photographs sum up what happens when British people drink because fights do break out as the drink overpowers emotions. Also when some people drink they disrespect their surroundings so the picture of alcohol bottles on a gravestone is very upsetting to look at.
Overall I think Peter Dench is very brave for taking these photographs because they do represent the high's and low's of Britain very well.
