Over a period of two years, Roo Lewis photographed residents in Port Talbot, a Welsh town fascinated with folklore and storytelling
Off of an unsuspecting turning on the M4 motorway in South Wales lies Port Talbot, a town which, according to its arguably most famous native Michael Sheen, is flush with extraterrestrial activity. On the periphery of its tourist haven counterparts, polluted by an overbearing Steelwork and divided by a motorway, British photographerset out to capture the pockets of magic that underpin a town fascinated with folklore and storytelling.
Unpicking the inner workings of the quirks and characters which form its tapestry, Lewis captures Miss Wales atop a mountain, Michael Sheen’s father Meyrick who spent decades carving out a career as a Jack Nicholson impersonator and Captain Beany, the man who runs the world’s only baked bean museum from his flat in Port Talbot.
It’s about this idea of folklore, it’s not about finding the truth. I don’t care if it’s true or not – I love the story. I think any idea of faith or hope is what keeps us going.
