During the course of his project, Lewis put up posters around the town to track down those who
have spotted UFOS, chartered a small plane to fly over the town, commissioned UFO models
based on sightings and was a guest of many of the town’s residents. The photographs in the book
range from portraits of Meyrick Sheen (father to Michael, who had a career as a Jack Nicholson
lookalike), Captain Beany, and Miss Wales, to images the town’s urban infrastructure and
surrounding landscapes interrupted by man-made structures. The story behind each photograph
is unique.
‘I am not interested in the truth. I am interested in the folklore surrounding it and the stories
it produces. I am interested in the people. I like how people project their own ideas about the
universe when talking about UFOs.
Roo Lewis is photographer based in North London. He has been commissioned by publications
such as Vogue, The Guardian, Financial Times, ELLE, and The Times amongst others, and has
worked with brands including Island Records, VW, Sony, Airbnb, Martell, and Audi. This is his second
monograph.
