I took this photograph for a personal project. I decided to take a series of photographs of a small fun fair that was visiting my town. I had recently studied the works and styles of social documentary photographers such as Trent Parke, Martin Parr, Nick Waplington and Gavin Watson. I used these influences (although not all had similarities with a project like this) to create my own set of documentary photographs. Martin Parr and Gavin Watson in particular documented movements and typically British scenes. This was one of the most interesting from the set as I experimented with long exposure times creating the fast paced, blurred effect from the lights of the ride. I will continue projects like this to develop the images I produce and the exposures I can create. This photograph was taken using my Nikon D40 DLSR camera.
