About

He began to photograph in and around the Island whilst working nights in his Fathers pub. During this time, the Isle of Man had been establishing itself as a tax-haven, the ramifications being the undermining of certain rooted and traditional forms of life, work, and culture. Killip immersed himself in the daily life of people on the island, whilst also photographing the landscapes, places of rest, and the sites of agricultural work the island was known for. Together the images culminate to form an intimate portrait of the Isle of Man between the years 1970-1973 chronicling his homeland, whilst bearing witness to changes that were beginning to take hold.
