The locations chosen by numerous filmmakers and photographers have often proved critical in creating mood or establishing meaning. The director Yasujiro Ozu used the interiors of Japanese homes to reflect the formality of domestic and family relationships that interested him. When photographing objects, Walker Evans emphasised the context of the room or street in which they were located. Irving penn severely limited the space available for his models when creating his corner portraits series. Produce your own response, making reference to appropriate work by others.

Shops, shopping, buying and selling, in high streets or markets, can offer dynamic and engaging opportunities for photographers and artists. Robert Adams observed customers, shelves of goods and shopping trolleys in his project What We Bought. Jim Dow's corner businesses.
