MORE than 30 professional and amateur Manchester-based photographers joined forces on Saturday April 1 to create a visual library of what Manchester means in 2017.
Photographing the city and its people, the A Day In The Life project, documents the city over a twenty-four hour period. Led by award-winning street photographer Mark Waugh, the photographers generated 1,600 images, covering the length and breadth of Manchester.
Mark Waugh said: “Through this project we’ve brought to life the real power of photography. These pictures will forever testify what happened in Manchester on 1st April 2017.”
There are images of Trafford-based families protesting to keep their borough’s green belt land safe from property developers, V-for-Vendetta dressed vegan activists drawing attention to their cause, a bee-keeping project, and United fans descending on Old Trafford to see the Red Devils play West Brom.
Inspired by the blog Humans Of New York, this definitive snapshot of Manchester is the idea of Stockport company, cartridgesave.co.uk
A Day In The Life will now commission a local artist to print every photograph and transform the catalogue into a piece of art, providing a permanent testimony of this day in history.
The full library of photos can be viewed at www.cartridgesave.co.uk/printwhatmatters/dayinthelife
