While the interior of a Morrisons or Specsavers, and the staff uniforms therein, won&#8217;t differ much whether you live in Newquay or Newcastle, chances are there at least <em>some<\/em> interesting independent shops left on your local high street. If you live in a particularly quirky town, the choice can be even wider.<\/p>\n<p>Glastonbury, in Somerset, is one of the best examples of the latter &#8211; indeed it&#8217;s hard to think of a quirkier town in the south of England. So Vicki Steward, a local photographer and blogger, decided to capture local shopkeepers. We caught up with Vicki to find out more about the project. For more, see her highly entertaining <a href=\"https:\/\/normalforglastonbury.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 553px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148715\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/burlesque-533x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">It is important to put shopkeepers at their ease, so they don&#8217;t look stiff, or &#8216;pose&#8217;<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><strong>Why did you decide to do a project on Glastonbury shopkeepers?<\/strong><br \/>\nGlastonbury high street is unusual in that it\u2019s almost entirely independent and a lot of the shops rely on the trade from the town&#8217;s many visitors. Obviously, with the first lockdown local businesses were suffering.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to support our local shopkeepers by encouraging people to visit once everywhere had opened up again. People put a lot of effort into making their premises visually interesting here, plus most places had used lockdown as an opportunity to clear the clutter and create space for social distancing \u2013 so they were looking at their best.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 619px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148716\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/intimate-599x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Don&#8217;t get rushed as you shoot and think about careful composition<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><strong>How did you go about arranging it?<\/strong><br \/>\nI simply went into the shops and asked if they minded being included. Most people were really happy to oblige.<\/p>\n<p>Generally people know about my blog and know that I\u2019m really keen to support and promote the town and its community \u2013 plus I wasn\u2019t asking for any money! I took the photos there and then, it was very informal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The shops in a town like Glastonbury can get busy, did you have to do the shots before they opened? <\/strong><br \/>\nIt was just after the shops had reopened after the first lockdown, but before people were allowed to travel outside of their local area. The shops were very quiet, with only local shoppers.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 562px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148717\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20200616_153108-542x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"542\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Choosing the right time, before shops get too busy, can also make the process easier<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><strong>How did you put the shopkeepers at their ease and stop them posing?<\/strong><br \/>\nI asked them to shout out the rudest word they knew! Even if they don\u2019t want to do it, it raises a smile. It was a trick I first used when a friend asked me to take a photo of her and her four-year-old son, as he was shy and hiding behind his mum\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n<p>I was trying to find a way to engage him and so I hit on this question that I knew he wouldn\u2019t be able to resist answering. Both him and his mum ended up laughing.<\/p>\n<p>It almost always works on adults too, and I get some funny and surprising replies. I think as I\u2019m using a phone, people are less intimidated than they might be by a large and professional-looking camera, it\u2019s more informal. I show them the photos immediately and delete any they really dislike.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t publish the photos unless people are happy with them. I\u2019m really camera-shy myself so It\u2019s important to me that people feel well represented.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 537px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148714\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stoners-517x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"517\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Vicki found a smartphone ideal as people were less intimidated than they would be by a big &#8216;pro&#8217; looking camera<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><strong>Was it hard to get the shots in low-light interiors?<\/strong><br \/>\nSurprisingly no, and my phone camera seems to deal really well with low light, and mixed artificial light and daylight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What smartphone did you use and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nI used my Huawei Mate P20 Pro. I am absolutely blown away by how good phone cameras are nowadays.
