Referral Request: Medina Media

Member: José Medina

More and more people are attending seminars about social media and getting really charged up about it, which is GREAT!  They then go home and set up profiles on all the big networks: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.  The trouble is, that’s normally where it stays.

If you have social media profiles but don’t know how to make them work for you or how to get the best out of them for your business, I look forward to speaking to you!

Streatham High Road- Seeing the light

Streatham High Road (SHR) in the South London Borough of Lambeth is not only what is locally believed to be the longest High Road in the UK but was also voted Britain’s Worst Street in a 2002 poll by CABE (Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment). Seeing this part of London in a negative light appears to be true for locals who think of it as ordinary, even dull and who frequently asked me why I was photographing an area where there is nothing worth seeing. The same can be said for the many people who see and use SHR solely as a traffic choked through-road to get in or out of town rather than a place to spend time at, which is in stark contrast to Streatham of the 1930’s when it was a popular entertainment centre for South London.

In my project, which consists of portraits and pictures of shop fronts taken along SHR during 2009, I am aiming to portray the area as much in an objective way as photography allows. By quietly observing without intervening when photographing, hence, putting as little of myself as possible into the project I give my subjects space for representing themselves. As SHR  runs north-south, I used the quality of illumination by the rising and setting sun to illustrate the vibrancy of colours that adorn the shops, and which reflects the road’s ethnic diversity. By including passing people, the shop fronts become a stage with people performing everyday life- at times surreal, beautiful or humorous.
With my images I am hoping to provide people with a different perspective of this area, and I believe that this project presents an important visual document that shows that far from being Britain’s worst road SHR in fact is a perfect microcosm of multi-cultural Britain.
