Distinctive in his approach, Macdonald developed a unique style using traditional black-and-white film and print-making techniques. This distinctive aesthetic signifies his growing confidence in employing photography as a tool to address the pressing issues observed and lived during that transformative era
The major photographic series Redcar Blast Furnace and Smith’s Dock Shipyard are exhibited together, capturing the last days of heavy industry in Teesside. They uncovered the inner workings of the industries and the workers who provided their lifeblood. The scale of industry in Teesside is evident from the sprawling sites, which have now all but gone.
