Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen photographed Byker in Newcastle in 1984. She returned in 2004 to photograph it again. It is the style of the 2004 photographs that I like best. The use of colour gives a kind of ‘rawness’ to the pictures, they seem more real to me. Like the images of Brascher and Fischer, the images have the quality of a painting.
