Greetings from Portrush (2016)

Appreciating the location that is around me influences my decisions when talking photographs.

The opening process of looking into ideas and taking photographs provide me with inspiration and ideas for my work.

My work has been inspired by the small seaside town of Portrush. It played a major role in my childhood.

I spent many holidays there. This is seaside town has been hit by the downturn. 

The change in the area gave me many ideas for my work.

The shutters are down on many former businesses, hotels lie shut and the town centre, dominated by cafes, amusement arcades and souvenir shops is ghostly quiet at times.

I am influenced by my former experiences and everything I see when I visited Portrush.
