To mark the first anniversary of his death, Andrew’s brother Aidan is organising an exhibition featuring some of his photographs in R Space Gallery in Castle Street.

“My brother Andrew was a photographer who focused on the abstract,” explained Aidan. “He spent much of his time along the Lagan and built up a body of work of some 38,000 photos.

"He was also a support worker for students at SERC, a role he was passionate about and was much loved by his students. Although he was born in Lisburn, he spent much of his adult life in Nottingham, returning to Lisburn five years ago.”

Andrew’s family were devastated when the 48 year old disappeared whilst visiting the Dutch city and were keen to keep his memory alive with an exhibition of his work.

Some of the students at SERC who had been supported by Andrew helped the family to decide which of his many photographs should be included in the display.

"Andrew's students have spent the last few months pouring over his photographs and have now chosen the twelve pieces that will be on show,” continued Aidan.
