A STUDENT photographer is looking for real-life subjects for a university project.

John Harrison from Witton, Blackburn, is studying for a degree in documentary photography at the University of Wales College, , Newport.

He is working on two projects, based on his East Lancashire roots.

For the first, he needs older people who worked in the cotton mills and who felt they had a difficult job.

For the second, he needs younger people currently working in industry but who feel they are underpaid.

John, 24, will travel back to East Lancashire from Wales to take the photographs and each of his subjects will receive a free print.

The photographs will not be published except as part of his university project.

Anyone who can help John should contact him on 01633 223531 as soon as possible.
