i like this photograph because it looks like a very clean picture, unlike most of the pictures in southbank it focuses on one individual instead of a group or a few people. The person in the photo looks like theyre falling or picking something up from the floor.

this picture is interesting because there is a large group of people in the shot but they are all focusing on one individual doing a trick down a set of stairs.

I like this photo because i dont know what is going on, it almost looks like a concert, theres a large group of people all moving around. this is similar to some of the pictures in the southbank collection but none of them show as much energy as this photo does.
