“Chris was certainly one of the key players in post-war British photography: by looking closely and humanely at his subjects and what they stood for, he created a different way of seeing.” – Martin Parr⁠ ⁠ Grounded in sustained immersion and participation in the communities he photographed, Chris Killip’s keenly observed work chronicled ordinary people’s lives in stark, yet sympathetic, detail. His photographs are recognised as some of the most important visual records of 1980s Britain; as editor of this book Ken Grant reflects, they tell the story of those who ‘had history “done to them”, who felt its malicious disregard and yet, like the photographer with whom they shared so much of their lives, refused to yield or look away.’⁠ ⁠ To coincide with our retrospective exhibition of Killip’s life and work, @thamesandhudson has published Chris Killip: 1946 - 2020, a book of the British photographer’s images, presenting photographs from each of his major series alongside lesser-known works.⁠ ⁠ Head into our @tpgbookshop to purchase your copy now!⁠ ⁠ @andrewsanigar⁠ @tracymarshallgrant1⁠ @kentgrantinfo⁠ Designed by @weeneypony⁠ Printed by @steildlverlag⁠
