Tom Wood spent 25 years capturing characters on the streets of Merseyside.
From trips to Greatie market to matchdays at Anfield and Goodison Park, Tom's photos offer a fascinating snapshot of life in Liverpool during the 80s and 90s. Born in Ireland, Tom Wood moved to Merseyside in 1978 and lived here until 2003.
It was during this time he earned the nickname "Photie Man", as he spent his time photographing people and places not usually represented in art at a time of great social and political change. Tom's photos are set to feature in a new exhibition called "Photie Man: 50 Years of Tom Wood" at the Walker Art Gallery, celebrating over half a century of his work.
