Tom Wood (1951) – a major figure in British documentary photography, who has had a powerful influence on the younger generation. He made the Looking for Love album (1989), in which he took portraits of the young British disco culture. From 1982-1985 Wood visited the Disco Reach Night Club in New Brighton – the first club of its sort in Northern England. The observations made by Wood are extraordinarily insightful, almost anthropological in character. Other albums by Wood include: All Zones Off Peak (1998), People (1999) and Photie Man (together with Padraig Timoney, 2005).
