New Photobook: We Drift Like Worried Fire by Peter Iain Campbell

Peter Iain Campbell’s new book ‘We Drift Like a Worried Fire’ has just been published by Another Place Press and is due to be released at the end of Feb 2025.

In 2013, having held a long-term interest in deindustrialisation and photographically exploring the remnants of industries past, I became intrigued by our last remaining heavy industry and how it could possess an ability to be instrumental in shaping our society and influencing governments, yet for the majority of people, its source remained firmly rooted in our imaginations, existing far beyond our physical horizons, hundreds of miles out at sea.

For the last 10 years, I have navigated my way around the North Sea, hopping on/off Platform Supply Vessels {PSVs} when opportunities present themselves, photographing the towering installations that incongruously rise up from the sea depths and documenting the shifts in the Scottish sector’s offshore oil and gas industry as it gradually moves into the burgeoning end of life stage for its infrastructure – decommissioning and on-shore dismantling.
