I selected events to photograph which included protests, parades, festivals and commemorations. Each had a unique atmosphere, uniting Wellingtonians in different ways. Attendees may have interacted by reflecting on the past and present, raising their voices, expressing pride, and relaxing in the afternoon sun. I have responded to this through my own experience of what I witnessed, giving insight into anxiety, loneliness and the sense of identity loss that can occur in large crowds. This is explored visually by intentionally hiding details of people photographed and navigating the crowd in a discreet manner. I also represented the public by attending different types of gatherings and capturing a range of perspectives, such as performers, attendees and children. I employed poetic documentary conventions by fluidly responding to the day, highlighting the unique emotive qualities. Among the Many allows an opportunity to gain an understanding of how people act in public gatherings and the internal and external factors that can influence this.
