I am already familiar with Jem Southam's work so I already new a little about his method of working and the type of things he is focusing on within his images. Southam has a series of work which is titled 'Landscape stories' in which he goes to specific locations and photographs them and then he will go back and revisit the locations that he photographed some time later and take another photograph in which he captures the changes that have occurred to that place over the period of time that he last photographed it. It is his way of documenting what time and the environment is doing. This is something that I find quite interesting and really like, it is a way of informing people of the damage and things that are happening to the areas surrounding us, simply by taking a then and now type photograph and putting the two together to show the comparison.
