I first visited the house of a subject who does not wish to be identities, to photograph their collection of stamps that they have collected for a number of years. Rather than keeping them in a book designed for this, they store their collection in a small box in the bathroom cupboard, as their partner is not aware of their collection. They spoke about some of their stamps, which are worth between 30p and £15 each, which was very interesting to hear, as you would have presumed that a collection of this much worth and expense would have been cared for with more love.

I then went on to visit the house of Andrew, who had a collection of dried flowers. I expected to see his collection in pretty storage boxes, as his personality of perfection and cleanliness suggested this. Andrew was one of the fussiest subjects I have had to deal with, as his OCD paired with his love of his collection meant he would only allow me to shoot in one room, which was the hallway. This produced many different difficulties, as natural light was not available, the light in the ceiling was very orange, casting a odd colour on the green carpet.
