Taking over our feed this weekend, we have British photographer, Rob Clayton for #TPGTakeovers who will be sharing a selection of images from “Estate” (1991) and “Estate - Return” (2018).⁠ ⁠ Rob Clayton (@clayton.rob) will be sharing images from his highly acclaimed series, Estate, started in the early 90s when he was at Wolverhampton University, documenting the Lion Farm Estate near Oldbury, West Midlands - an area otherwise known as the Black Country. His images were published in a photobook, his first monograph, in 2015. ⁠ ⁠ In 2017/18, he was commissioned by Multistory in the West Midlands to revisit the Lion Farm Estate and embarked on a follow up series to the original 1990/1991 series. 'Estate - Return' is a documentation of that return to the area.⁠ ⁠ Rob's work focuses on the socio-economic changes that affect both the British landscape and the lives of mainly the working class affected by the abandonment of the post war consensus. ⁠ Having being born in 1966, and grown up in a tough working-class environment, his family benefited from positive post war progressive socialism, which rapidly began to disappear.Through his documentary photography, he's attempted to portray his roots, and the voices that are often overlooked, also demonstrating how Lion Farm Estate, and everything it represents, offered so much to so many people living there.⁠ ⁠
