Scottish photographer Niall McDiarmid has been living and working in London for more than 30 years. However, he is best known for travelling across the country producing colourful and celebratory street portraits from the North of Scotland, all the way south to Cornwall.
His work has been exhibited at a variety of galleries and museums across the country and internationally including the Martin Parr Foundation, the Museum of London and of course, Oriel Colwyn and its outdoor projects across towns in North Wales. In coming months exhibitions of his work will be held in Spain and Belgium.
In recent years his work has moved in new directions including a long series entitled Nightfall which focusses on the early evening transition between day and night. Even though Niall grew up on a small farm in rural Perthshire, this series of images shot across the UK reflects his intense love for city spaces. At the same time the work has an underlying sense of melancholy often associated with dusk.
Niall will talk about his ongoing projects, his continued joy in making daily street photographs and the restless urge to continue journeying across the UK.
