Benidorm

'Benidorm', 128pp, cloth spine and back cover, 237mm x 285mm. Considered the birthplace of the package holiday, Benidorm continues to draw visitors with its promise of tropical escape. Rob Ball's contemporary photographs reveal a more complex story: one of human connection and communion, and of the stark contrast between a vibrant beach culture and the towering urban landscape that embraces it. Rob Ball has been a photographer for over 25 years. He spent time working as a news, sport and crime scene photographer before shifting to long-form personal projects while lecturing at Canterbury Christ Church University.
