Marine Parade, Hastings, May 2011

Niall McDiarmid是一位苏格兰摄影师

从2011年起，他开始拍摄在大街上遇到的人

刚开始只是因为好玩，感兴趣

几个月后他决定

拍摄更多不同地点、不同背景、不同种族的人

作为英国现代社会的记录

在他的镜头下

有年迈而不失风度的妇人和绅士

或阳光或阴郁、或温顺或反叛的少年

于生活的奔忙中短暂休憩的劳动者

保存着原有生存习惯的异乡人……

局促或坦然 欢喜或悲伤

他们的故事在镜头下铺陈开来

Niall的英国不是单调的灰色

每个人、每条街、每片风景

都是斑斓色彩的集合

他们并不肩负大英帝国的沉重

而是因自由而个性

因个性而自由
