In this blog we’ll explore the experience of one of our team members photography who recently had the opportunity to document the work being done at the ISG site. We will explore his unique perspective, dedication, and how he navigated his role at the site. Through Tolu S lens, we'll witness the details and remarkable progress taking place on-site, in the heart of Bristol city centre.
A Glimpse into the Journey:
When Sara, our Executive Director extended an invitation for me to accompany her on the SAZ MEDIA’s photography project in Bristol city centre, I eagerly accepted, unaware of the adventure that awaited me. After a long car journey to the hotel in Bristol, I found myself filled with anticipation for the moments I would capture through my lens.
Arriving at the ISG site the following morning, I was ready to get to work with Sara by my side, guiding me through every step of the way. As an individual who is profoundly deaf with no speech or hearing, I rely solely on my vision to perceive the world around me, including all the crucial aspects of health and safety we had to follow. With hard hats, steel cap boots, and hi-vis jackets on, Sara and I embarked on our mission, capturing the site's workers hard work being done.
Fully aware of the importance of precise instructions, I relied on Sara's guidance as I prepared to document the different roles of the site workers through my lens. Recognising the need for proper exposure, I used my speedlight, ensuring each shot would capture the scene in its truest form. Surrounded by skilled professionals from plasterers to painters, plumbers to panel fitters, carpenters to electricians, I seized the opportunity to document their unique contributions to the building's progress.
Unveiling the Results:
Returning home, I reviewed the images captured during the shoot. I was amazed by how interesting they were and what a great opportunity I'd had working on this project. My photographs revealed captivating moments, each narrating a story of dedication, craftsmanship, and collaboration. Curiosity fuelled my desire to understand the tools and equipment being used in one particular image. A quick internet search revealed that it was a dust extractor—an essential component of the site's health and safety standards.
