"I took this after going to the Twilight exhibition at the V&A last year. I was doing an HND in photography and digital imaging. This is Tremorfa industrial estate in Cardiff. I noticed at night that the lights are on but there's no one around. It looked interesting."

"This was taken at a big retail park near Leeds. These vast soulless sheds epitomise the big-business consumer landscape we see so much. I really liked the colour and the guy in blue in front. I just saw the shot and took it with my digital SLR."
