I have decided that these are the images I'd like to include in a gallery setting. I think they best represent the room and Salford Lads Club. My original images were about documenting the room and the reasons it was there, the setting of it all and in general the club. In a gallery I think people would be more interested about some of the things in the room, all the little trinkets represent a visit from a fan who each have their own connection with the band. I feel the above photos are a good representation of the room.
The wide shot lets people appreciate the sheer size of the room and gives an insight into what's inside without giving too much away. The close up shots then show post it notes with scribbles on both which happen to be from American visitors. Again this re affirms the importance of the room if international fans are willing to travel.
I think these 3 photographs give enough insight into the room for an audience to grasp an understanding and could maybe spark a potential interest in seeing more. The whole room is like a time capsule and each note on the wall represents someone and their life.
I don't think I would frame the images, I think they would be best suited on a large canvas style print. Especially the shot of the room, this would benefit from being quite large so you could see the details. I would place the images horizontally so the audience would view them from left to right like a book. This would ensure they had an idea that the end photographs came from the room pictured in the first.
