the-80s/Work

One of the great things about being a photography student back in the 1980's is that you could get access to places that would be near impossible these days. It's strange how the world is a lot less transparent these days. I took full advantage of this and gained access to several factories. It was part of a project about working lives of people in heavy industries. These seemed to be an area of UK life that was fast disappearing.
