Tracksuit Lads

Two lads rocking the Sports Casual look in 1998. I guess being Blackpool they would have been more in the Oasis camp than Blur - especially with those basin haircuts!

 I'm not sure where this is but there is a modernish  style church on the right of the image and houses are later than the Victorian red brick faced buildings which are found in the town centre.

At some point I had seen a book in the college library (or Learning Resource Centre as they insisted on calling it) about the photographer William Klein who instead of  holding the camera to his eye held it at waist height before firing the shutter. This  allowed him to catch the subjects unaware and also from an angle where it was looking up at the subjects rather than down on them. I started copying the technique which although rather hit and miss worked well in this instance.
