This website presents a project I completed as part of a workshop with the Royal Photographic Society. The workshop, ‘Creating Personal Projects’, lasted 12 weeks and helped participants identify a subject; develop a project plan (together with scope) and present the finished work. For my project, I chose to photograph the Sherston and Tetbury Avon tributaries which meet in Malmesbury to form the River Avon which flows through to Bristol. Whilst the workshop was limited to 12 weeks, I intend to provide an ongoing photographic documentary of the rivers as the seasons change. I have made a section in the website for each tributary and the Malmesbury Avon. The gallery page contains all the images I took for the project and will continue to be populated as I carry the project forward throughout the rest of the year.
