Circumference

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:02:33 GMT

]]>In the winter of 2018/19 I set out on a trip around the entire coast of Great Britain. This project is a photographic record of how life is lived at the edges of the country.
In homage to Martin Parr, I started in New Brighton, traveling clockwise in stages until I finally returned to the Wirral several months later. These images are presented in that clockwise sequence.
This project will also have written and audio components, due for completion in the spring of 2020.

The United Arab Emirates

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 18:32:26 GMT

]]>Although best known for the glitz and glamour of Dubai, there is so much more to the United Arab Emirates. From seven star hotels and indoor ski slopes to camel racing out in the desert and bull fights in Fujairah (the bulls are not harmed!), the United Emirates combines both ultra-modern and deeply traditional lifestyles.

Uzbekistan

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 08:01:18 GMT

]]>Along with Liechtenstein, Uzbekistan is one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world. Its many cultural and historical links with Iran and with its position as a major waypoint on the silk road mean that the incredible, ornate mosques of Samarkand and Bukhara have long been on many tourists' wish lists. Since 2016, the former Soviet Republic has been going through a process of significant modernisation, making it much easier to visit.

Postcards from Nowhere

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Wed, 04 Dec 2019 18:19:52 GMT

]]>An ongoing series looking at countries that, for a variety of reasons, do not actually exist. Some, like Transnistria and Gagauzia are disputed territories, while some, such as The Isle Of Man and Gibraltar are 'dependencies'. Then there are those like Kurdistan, which are ethnic homelands within other countries and others, such as Užupis and Christiania which are micronations declared (often for artistic reasons) as separate from their motherlands.

Bandit Country

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 17:39:51 GMT

]]>In the summer of 2018, I traveled and photographed the length of the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish land borders along with the coast of the Isle of Man. I was looking at how the Brexit sticking point of the Irish border and its turbulent recent history compared with the other borders, also fought hard over, but so much longer ago.

Camel Races

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 17:17:01 GMT

]]>Every Friday morning, from sunrise until midday, Emiratis gather at races tracks out in the desert. This tradition is as old as the country itself, and is virtually unknown to the millions of tourists that visit the country each year. The camels are ridden by remote controlled robot jockeys, with the pilots being driven round the racecourse as the camels run. Thoroughbred racing camels can fetch the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of pounds at auction, with the price depending on the calibre of and placing in the Friday morning races.

Venice

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 16:12:47 GMT

]]>La Serenissima needs little introduction. One of the most photographed cities in the world, perhaps one of the biggest challenges when out with a camera is the hordes of other people doing exactly the same. However, despite being constantly crowded by day, everyone in the city seems to be in bed by 10pm, leaving the streets, the squares and the canals all but empty.

Sudan

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 16:02:33 GMT

]]>Sudan sometimes feels like the poor relation to its northern neighbour Egypt. As well as a world-class collection of antiquities in the National Museum, Khartoum also sees the confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers. 200km north, on the east bank of the Nile, lies Meroë, the site of over two hundred pyramids in varying states of repair. The place is still largely unknown, with little tourist infrastructure - there is not a hotel or guesthouse or restaurant in sight.

Chittagong

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 15:51:35 GMT

]]>Chittagong is a major city in south-eastern Bangladesh. Established where the Karnaphuli river flows into the Bay of Bengal, the majority of Chittagong's economy is maritime in nature. It is here that the world sends the ships it no longer wants to be reduced to scrap, a dirty and exceptionally dangerous job primarily accomplished by hand. The city is also a centre for the building of traditional wooden boats (with whole families living in the boatyards) as well as fishing, salt harvesting and the manufacture of clothing to be shipped off all across the globe.

Benidorm

(Daniel Simon Photography) — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 15:41:35 GMT

]]>On the fabled Spanish Costa Blanca, Benidorm was a sleepy fishing village until increasingly cheap plane travel saw a tourist boom in the 1960s. Now, perhaps unfairly, it has a reputation as being a place reserved only for boozed up Brits looking for lager and fish and chips in a sunnier climate than back at home. Whilst Benidorm certainly does provide that, there is also a more traditional Spanish side to the city as well as some of the best utilitarian architecture this side of 1960.
