Background
From The moment the Giants first appeared in Liverpool in
2012, the city was hooked.
It was the start of a six year journey which would see the
Giants, effectively become like “The very best of friends from overseas” to the
people of Liverpool.
The mass crowds have created a special atmosphere in the city
each time the giants have visited, these crowds in the city were amazing and
gave my photographs added impact, that summed up the scale of this event.
Royal de Luxe the company who were behind the Giants, led by
founder and Artistic director Jean-Luc Courcoult took the city of
Liverpool to their hearts and refereed to Liverpool as “Their second home”
Two centuries inspired the earlier visits of the Giants - the
anniversary of the sinking of the titanic in 2012 and the outbreak of the First
World War in 2014.
In 2018 4 – 7th October the Giants
returned to Liverpool by popular demand – “Liverpools Dream” they also visited
Wirral (not photographed here due to fatigue).
On 5th October I listened to Radio
Merseyside to children chanting “We want OUR Giant!”

The Purpose Of My Photography
I use my photography to raise
awareness for #Bloodwise_uk ONLY.
Bloodwise is the charity formerly
known as Leukaemia And Lymphoma Research
I was diagnosed with Acute
Promyelocytic Myeloid Leukaemia (APML) twice and have
been in remission for a second time since 2007 (11 years).
My photography is my way of “giving something back” after all
the life saving treatment given to me.
I raise awareness for Bloodwise with my photography via
tagging on social media.
The popularity of the Giants was the perfect opportunity to do this.
Should any mass media, retail outlet or street trader want to publish or sell these images
please contact liverfocus@gmail.com
and can people please print the hash tag #Bloodwise_uk if
sharing, thank you for the interest in my work.
