John Riddy’s photographs are meditations on the individuality and poetry of certain places.

He talks about walking the same route everyday as his way of getting to know a place, until, ‘after a while something will click’. In his pictures of dilapidated streets in Palermo and Corbusian architecture in India’s Chandigarh, past and present appear to coalesce.

‘The picture has to trigger things to do with after images, memories of other places you’ve been,’ says Riddy.
