Every summer, loyalist and Protestant marches, mostly organised by the Orange Order, take place to celebrate ties to the United Kingdom and past victories over the Catholic forces of Ireland. These patriotic displays are contentious because many of the marches go through what are Catholic / nationalist communities. The main aim seems to be provocative, to display one community’s dominance over another.

“I try to make photographs that will engage the viewer and if that means using what many call beauty so be it. If you want people to listen through photography, you must engage the viewer, to get them to notice, to look, to pay attention.”
