“For my Final Major Project I have created a style-oriented travel guide series called CityScape, with the first two titles focussing on the cities of London and Newcastle Upon Tyne. I have photographed various areas within each city, showcasing and analysing the street style and art, retail, architecture and leisure pursuits in each destination. I wanted to create books which approached travel from more of a visual and creative point of view compared to the overly commercial guides often found in stores, which focus solely on tourist attractions. CityScape takes an ‘off the beaten path’ approach, encouraging readers to look beyond the obvious.”

Where did your inspiration come from?

“Originally my idea was rooted solely in street style, however as I developed my concept I wanted to include additional elements and turn CityScape into a visual city guide. I love to read street style books and blogs so my initial inspiration came from this and then I chose to combine fashion with my love for travel to create a unique book series.”

What’s next for you?

“After graduation I would love to work within fashion journalism, preferably within magazine publishing, which would hopefully allow me to complete pieces for both online and print platforms.

I am also hoping to have the opportunity to work in another part of the UK or the US, which would give me the chance to work in a career I love whilst being in an exciting new environment.”
