Photie Man

For 25 years Tom Wood lived in New Brighton, just across the river Mersey from Liverpool. He became known locally as "photieman" because everyday he was out on the streets with his camera. Most of the 170 dazzling color and tritone photographs which are collected in this book were taken within a 5-minute walk from Wood’s home. The images focus on the inhabitants of Liverpool and its regular visitors- daytrippers and clubbers who attended the Chelsea Reach nightspot. Roberta Smith from The New York Times writes; "Each of his images seems to diagram a specific emotional exchange [and] are surprisingly individual in their composition and nuance. Neither ironic nor intrusive, they provide a poignant sense of the carefully disguised insecurity and age old rituals of youth."
