'Where To's It?' by Laurie Broughton is a publication created for the second year Photobook module.
In the midst of constant changing modernity, the youth of contemporary South Wales find themselves as an in-between, coming of age in an uncertain future. So where to's it?
I moved to South Wales from London in 2019 to follow my passion of Documentary and develop my own practice of photography. Growing up in an urban environment I have always longed for the beauty and freedom you gain from wild landscapes. I have fallen in love with South Wales, its architecture, the people and the pride they have.
In a collaborative process I met individuals aged between 18 and 22 from all over South Wales, and asked to make portraits of them in their own surroundings to represent who they are, and their heritage. I asked them each to write a letter about who they were, or what made them themselves as individuals to accompany their portraits.
