Watford Gap: The First Motorway Service Station

Watford Gap is an intimate study of the myriad different people who pass through the doors of the UK’s first Motorway Service Station. Achieved by setting up a pop-up studio at the northbound Watford Gap services, my aim was to fix a snapshot-in-time of the different people seen passing through its doors on a daily basis. The title features an exclusive prosimetrum by the celebrated poet David Harsent as well as archival imagery from the prolific documentary photographer Martin Parr. The work is a both light-hearted and touching portrait of the UK on the move.
