Enter a photo which symbolises contemporary consumer culture: As time goes by and we acquire things over the course of our lives, trends can be spotted in the objects we buy. Whether it’s colour schemes, fonts, patterns or shapes, there have been many changes in style since the dawn of modern day consumer culture in the 1950s. We would like you to take a photo of an object or scene that symbolises modern culture to you. It could be a fashion statement, a type of washing powder, a chair or a hairstyle, but must be something you feel is a reflection of today’s society. It can be sensationalist or low key, split second or staged. Try to photograph something you feel strongly about, whether it’s a piece of technology or a doorway.
