Description

Love Bites is a contemporary photography monograph by British artist Tim Richmond, documenting the lives and landscapes along a twenty-mile stretch of the Bristol Channel—home to some of the longest coastal mudflats in the world. Spanning six years of observation, Richmond’s work explores the “underbelly” of out-of-season resort towns like Minehead and Weston-super-Mare. Through a delicate, cinematic color palette, the book weaves together portraits of punks, performers, and everyday residents with scenes of food banks and derelict industrial sites. It serves as an elegiac “love letter” to a region marked by decades of austerity, food poverty, and commercial decline, revealing a profound sense of human resilience and shared isolation.
