All of these photos are labelled individually for relevance to the topic so please see notes under each one.

However, all the photos were imported using Bridge software, edited in Camera Raw and saved on my external hard drive.

Health and safety guidelines were followed in public spaces, for example when using my tripod. Also all subjects were asked to give permission for me to take their photograph and all featured agreed, or parental consent (mine!) was granted.
