For my Photo Essay, I travelled to several places situated in and around the town of Reading. Mostly roaming round Tilehurst with a group of decorators getting to know them, which I was given permission to start taking photos. During my visit I explained the situation to why I was taking photos of them for my photo essay, the decline in manual labour has slowly been eroding away over the number of years and I wanted to show in perspective of the painter & decorators.
