Someone once asked me, why make a photo of an empty floor? I pointed out the photo isn’t empty. You may not see them here, but on this floor are the memories of all who danced here for now what is 100 years. And if you look carefully to the stage, you will find the silhouette of Ashley Frohlick. So if your eyes fail one day, you might close them and still hear the sound of the Empress Orchestra.

Blackpool Abstracts is a photographic collection by Alexander Rowan showcasing over a decade of his works as freelance photographer at the Blackpool Dance Festival in England.

The collection highlights Rowan’s abstract works of the Empress Ballroom within the Winter Gardens Blackpool — one of the most iconic and storied venues in the history of ballroom dancing.

Created through moments of motion and a deep sensitivity for light, these works move beyond documentary photography and into a more emotional and painterly experience. The collection invites viewers to witness Blackpool not only as a competition, but as a irreplaceable stage where tradition & legacies have endured for more than a century.
