Way before I really started to embrace the urban photography scene, my subject matter was the beach especially sunsets and low tide at dusk.....one of the benefits living on the west coast 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #sunset #britishseaside #beach #ukseaside #skyphotography

Some more film photographs, taken over a decade ago in Blackpool, some of these spaces no longer exist, but some are still there 😁✌️I usually try to avoid people in the frame, but the pigeons are an occupational hazard 😁🐦 #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #britishseaside #filmcamera

Adding a new roll of film and taking the first frame, was often done in the kitchen, this in turn led to a series of domestic kitchen photographs, revolving around food and drink - all shot on film 😁🍲✌️ #photography #filmcamera #sooc #foodphotography

Also Blackpool.....I keep thinking about a collection of non-street work, being west facing the sunsets are amazing at times, there is also some very fierce weather too, thankfully not too often 😁✌️ #Blackpool #naturephotography #britishseaside #beachphotography #sunset #skyporn #skyphotography

The end of the affair, or at least the end of capturing a favourite of many photographers visiting the resort wanting a break from the more traditional views. Some shots of the brutalist complex taken over the years including it's last days. #streetphotography #urbanphotography #Blackpool

Occasionally I do take film photographs, that said it really isn't that much of late. These shots are from over a decade ago, and remain some of my favourite photographs, taken with one of my many film cameras...all shot in #Blackpool ✌️😁 #photography #filmcamera #streetphotography #urbanphotography

Street corners, one of my favourite approaches to capturing #Blackpool. It's something that I kind of fell into as opposed to consciously setting off to do. Perhaps an element of anticipation, expectation or the moment held.... maybe just because it looked OK 😁✌️ #streetphotography #britishseaside

Inside one of the many fast food places and cafés across the town, I think the chair colour is 'burger bar blue' ✌️💙😁 I could photograoh these places all day long! #streetphotography #Blackpool #urbanphotography #britishseaside #fastfood

We often talk about opportunities presenting themselves. After wandering around taking photos of the side streets, stopping to get a drink before heading home and looking up after sitting down in a popular fast food chain... #photography #peopleinthestreet #streetphotography #documentingbritain

Being on the west coast, Blackpool is blessed with great light many evenings ✌️😃 #sunset #streetphotography #photography #urban #Blackpool #brutalist

The omnipresent tower, a beacon a night and icon during the day. It immediately places any photograph it appears in.....though there is still the occasional confusion with a certain tower in Paris! 😁✌️ #Blackpool #streetphotography #nightphotography

So many phone boxes to shoot even though they are a dying bread, I still see them on the streets of Blackpool, their light illuminating the gloom of the night. ✌️😁 #Blackpool #streetphotography #nightshots #urbanphotography

Inside the pink building, late on Saturday night. No people about, footfall at minimum, Blackpool out of season. Days are dark and nights are long. #streetphotography #Blackpool #urbanphotography #nightphotography #britishseaside #noPeople

The quiet of the resort during the winter months at night...cold and empty, faint hopes of warmer days to come 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #nightphotography #fastfood

The closed quiet of a seaside town out of season, it's not just the lack of people, but also the shuttered buildings and the endless grey days that completely change the atmosphere of the town 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #britishseaside #urbanphotography #noPeople

This place, old police station and courts, had been a favourite haunt of many photographers visiting the town, due to its brutalist design. Some have mixed feelings of the intent to demolish and redevelope the space 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #brutalist #urbanabstractions

Side streets and alleyways, always taking the long way home....unless it's raining ✌️😁 #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography

As a kid, I used to have a map of the world on my bedroom wall, staring at it as I went to sleep every night, it clearly imprinted on me in such a way that when I see render falling off walls, I immediately think of that world map 😅✌️ #photography #streetphotography #urbanphotography #StreetDreams

This place is one of those rare finds that you have to almost rub your eyes to believe what you are seeing. A mothballed café tucked away at the back of an amusement arcade. #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #britishseaside #retrointeriors

Capturing the multitude of fast food places around the resort when there is nobody in them became a bit of a passion project, the same way I avoid streets with cars, I have the same feeling about takeaways and people 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #emptyspaces #fastfood #takeaway

I do try to avoid scenes with cars, and will often walk away from an opportunity if there are too many. Very rare to see something like this with a lonely van being the only vehicle 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #documentingbritain #urbanphotography #suburbia

I would dearly love to spend some time photographing inside each and every one of the guest houses in the resort, but will have to stick to exteriors 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #britishseaside #urbanphotography #streetshots

Facing the west coast, as the sun starts to dip, the light takes on a warmth that transforms many of the street corners across the resort. This is one of my favourite spots and popped up on Flickr explore today too ✌️😁 #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #britishseaside #urbanphotography

As nice as it is to see all the people having fun on a hot summer's day, seaside towns out of season have their own unique atmosphere especially at night. #Blackpool #streetphotography #nightphotography #nighthawks #photography #britishseaside #seasideglamour #outofseason

There is definitely something about how the landscape changes at night time, and it's no different for corner shops too. This one featured on the cover of Boston Manor's album 'Datura' ✌️😁 #StreetDreams #photography #nighthawks #nightphotography #Blackpool #conveniencestore #cornershop

Lots of fast food and take away spots, lots of low cost housing too. The appeal of night photography... #photography #Blackpool #streetphotography #nightphotography #fastfood #nighthawks #urbanphotography #streetscenes

I'm not know for taking photographs of people in the street, and if I do it's usually because they have wandered into the frame purely by chance. This is one of those shots 😁✌️ #photography #Blackpool #peopleinthestreet #streetphotography #StreetDreams

Gone but not forgotten, I'm thinking of revisiting some older photographs of the town. Blackpool... #seasideglamour #streetphotography #photography #Blackpool #fishandchips #urban

Blackpool.....revisiting places to make sure that they have stayed the same. #StreetDreams #photography #seasideglamour #streetphotography #Blackpool

Blackpool... #StreetDreams #nighthawks

All change, revisiting the spot where yesterday's IG post was taken only to find it has indeed lived up to its name and.....changed 😁✌️ #Blackpool #streetphotography #documentingbritain

Start as I mean to go on, a photograph of a street in Blackpool, just after the sun has set...😁✌️ #Blackpool #photography
