Benny Profane is the result of a long-term engagement with a dockland neighborhood that Grant first encountered as a laborer in his youth. Confined to a few square kilometers along the banks of the River Mersey, it focuses on the river’s hinterland and, in particular, the vast expanse of Bidston Moss, becoming an immersion into a region and those who depend on it. It is a work that is both committed and tender, a narrative of kinship and struggle in a difficult land. The photographs in this book were taken between 1989 and 1997, and although some of them were published in Reportage magazine in 1991, most are unpublished.
