This idea came from a conversation I had with my dad during a journey, along a back-road. We were just chatting away and ideas for projects came up and he said why not do something on people on B-roads. I sat on this idea throughout most of the year, though it wasn’t until after I had started shooting Greenham Common for Landscape that the penny dropped. B Roads of Britain was a landscape project, also Landscapes are actually my strong suit, (not my weakness) so from there I got to thinking about areas in the country that are rife with B roads. My first thought was the west-country. Though after some basic research it became apparent that Berkshire is also pretty well filled with them.
So, the basic premise of the idea is to capture some of the sights and people along the B Roads, and seeing if there is any difference in the people (south-west vs north-east).
