Rokit:
Lucky the same girl was their, even though she was a lot less Egyptian - esque, and more punk rock chick.
After she has finished serving a customer i said i am a university student going to shops and asking one simple question.
She seemed interested so i asked: Why do you work here?
And she replied: Why? hmm..to be able to wear what i want and work in a great part of london
Vintage Store:
When looking for this store i thought i wouldn't find it because i couldn't remember where it was! But after awhile i stumbled upon it.
Upon entering no one was their, so i waited for awhile and he came from downstairs and asked me: can i help you?
This is when i explained i am a student and i would like to ask him a question about his shop.
I asked him: Why do you work here?
He replied: Well, this is my own shop which i have had for many years, and it allows me to sell what i love because i'm big fan of the 40's/50's
I learnt that he used to be a student of fashion and then went and bought his own shop to sell clothes he loves.
Labour and Wait:
I really like this shop because it sells such lovely household items.
The men working in this shop seemed quite busy sorting out stock. Again i waited awhile to not annoy them, and when the guy i photograph before was on his own I quickly asked him a question so I didn't bother him for too long.
I asked him: What is your favorite item in the shop?
He quickly replied: *pointing* The espresso Maker, its a life saver
Whilst in London I gathered some information on the shops themselves, such as the address, website etc, to go into the glossary at the end of my book.
Further more i Gathered the information of the shops i had been in in Manchester to add to my glossary.
Again because in my first and second shoot i had not thought of the idea to ask questions, i had to go back and ask them again to be able to add them to my book!
Totally Doomed:
This man was very helpful and remembered who I was.
We were talking about how my work was coming along, and so i told him i'm now having to ask questions about the shop.
I asked him: What is your favorite piece in the shop?
And he replied: *walking to a tshirt on the rack* this tshirt my friend printed i really like the design, hes really talented!
Chase Music:
As i went into the shop it was a different man at the counter which got me worried because i wanted to ask the man i photographed! But as i was talking to the man at the counter the man i photographed came out from the back and so i was able to ask him.
I asked him: Whats your favorite piece in the shop?
He replied: The guitars, because my passion is music
Projekts:
As i walked into the shop the same man was their, with a familiar look in his eye which told me he remembered who i was, which made it a lot easier to talk to him.
I went on to explain why i was their again and asked the question: Why do you work here?
He answered: I work here because Its my friends shop and i'm a skater so we sell the kinda stuff i like
He went on to talk about his skateboarding and how hes been doing it since he was in primary school, it kept him out of trouble!
Oi Polloi:
As i walked in the shop was quite busy and i couldnt find the man i had photographed before, i asked if there was a guy who worked here whose hair had a kinda quiff.
The man looked at me as if i was a little crazy but then he came to the desk to put some leaflets behind it and so i caught him quickly to ask him a question.
I said do you remember me and he said yes, which made it a lot easier.
I quickly explained why i was here again and asked the question: What do you like about working here?
He answered: I like working here because i like the people i work with, the environment and the clothes are my sort of style
