A Vote for Ruth

During the four weeks preceding the General Election, Philip Grocott documented the Burton Labour Party and their candidate for the constituency, Ruth Smeeth. 

Burton Upon Trent and Uttoxeter is a marginal seat in the Midlands, with a strong campaign between The Conservatives and Labour. 

Philip's aim was to photograph Ruth and the Burton Labour Party during their campaign, giving an insight to the General Election on a local scale.

A selection of the images will be shown as a part of Burton College's Catalogue at the Tenth Annual Free Range Art & Design Show.

Opening: 17th June 2010, 6pm to 10pm. Also showing on the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st of June 2010, 10am to 7pm. 

Location: F Block T3, Hanbury Street, London.
Philip Grocott joined Burton College on the Foundation Degree in Photography as a mature student.

In 2009, Philip was awarded a Merit in the Fujifilm Student Awards. More recently he has been documenting the Burton Labour Party in the run up to General Election.

Free Range Preparation

This is the first year that Burton College will be exhibiting at the Free Range art and design show. Free Range provides an excellent platform for students to showcase their work to the public and industry.

Students from Burton College on the Foundation Degree in Digital Media Production (Photography) will be showing work from the 17th to the 21st of June. As one of the students, I’ll be exhibiting thirty images from my recent A Vote for Ruth project.
