Introduction to Blackpool Reimagined

Blackpool Reimagined is a long-term documentary photography project uncovering the layered realities of the UK’s most iconic seaside resort.

Since 2005, this series has been a journey of visual exploration, capturing the complex, multifaceted identity of a place that is simultaneously nostalgic and ever-changing.

Inspired by Blackpool’s unique character, cultural heritage, and rich history, the series captures the multifaceted essence of a place that embodies both resilience and reinvention. From its iconic landmarks to its quieter, often overlooked corners, Blackpool Reimagined reveals the juxtaposition of tradition and transformation that defines this coastal town.

The project is rooted in the ethos of Professor J.K. Walton, who described Blackpool as a place of “intersecting identities.” By navigating the juxtaposition of nostalgia and renewal, Blackpool Reimagined offers a fresh perspective on a town that defies simple categorisation.

This series is as much a reflection on Blackpool’s enduring legacy as it is a testament to its ability to reimagine itself in an ever-changing world.

Blackpool Reimagined invites you to see this cherished seaside destination through a fresh and revealing perspective, blending nostalgia with a contemporary view to uncover the photographic gems hidden in plain sight.
