Over the past few weeks, I have had a few different ideas about how my work should be presented at the Degree Show. As you know, my first idea was to stick the images onto 'Dibond' and then attach these to a wooden cross, because of the significant religious symbolisation. But, because my project is moving away from the religious element and more focusing on the human presence within the walls of these buildings, I have been advised on a few different approaches. My favourite one has been the idea of laying out the images in a  way that resembles a 'plan drawing' or a 'blueprint' of the building to echo my personal interest in the architectural aesthetics of the buildings. 

I feel this would resonate more as it no longer becomes a piece surrounding the ever important and present topic of religion and shifts towards a piece discussing people within the spaces and how they are indeed used. Considering this and after feedback from peers, I was advised to change my stance with the images, and try shooting a more traditional perspective i.e very upright, straight, dominating lines leading the viewer to the centre point of the image. As seen below, the first image was taken with quite a distorted perspective and also with a person in the frame to highlight the sense of scale these places ooze. But, following the advice and suggestions from peers and starting to photograph in the more traditional view, I have found it very enjoyable and more than that  I feel the images are better because it almost elevates that sense of scale without having to distort the perspective.

I have also decided for the most point to change the orientation too, which allows for more scale to be shown off in these fantastic places. It also works for the new way which I am showcasing the work, in the form of the 'blueprint'. I am thinking that the final 'blueprint' will be of Carlisle Cathedral, as it's my final project at the Uni, it feels right to do it around that.
