Typologies of landscapes

Typology is the recording of many things that are of the same ‘type’, and in photography, there are many different interpretations of this definition.

Typology can be found in all three of Portraiture, Landscape and Still Life studies.

To create my response, I took photos in Central London, picking out a few different subjects as and when I saw that they occurred quite frequently. I collected images of bikes, telephone boxes, lamp posts, numbers on buildings and views that seem to reach into the distance through the foreground (for want of a better word).

Whilst I regret that there are perhaps not as many images as I would have liked, I obviously cannot take more in this location and so from here I will create final images.
