TomWood spent 24 years photographing people in transit between Liverpool and the Wirral peninsula
is an intimate documentation of those he encountered on his daily commute during the 25 years he lived in New Brighton. It’s during this period that Wood used his lens to capture carefully considered snapshots of society while he stood waiting for the Mersey Ferry to operate, then during the journey between Liverpool and the Wirral peninsula, and later when he arrived at the Pier Head.
While many of the candid photographs chronicle the continuity and changes of the fashions of the day – teenage girls sporting pastel-hued shell suits, male Scousers with a penchant for sports brands, and Merseyside’s ever changing hairstyles – others document generational differences and social status. But these are not voyeuristic images. Rather, Wood’s work is a celebration of the place he called home.
