A deep dive into Chris Killip’s work and life reveals the long-term commitment that went into making his images. Susan Meiselas says, "I was really taken by 'In Flagrante', and looking back at it, it’s because I felt that deeply lived experience in the place – his connection to that community of which he was a part.⁠ ⁠ “A gifted photographer can go someplace and see a world they don’t come from,” she adds. “But there is this tension that when you belong, or you stay, or the more you live within a community, the more you see in a subtle way. I think you feel that with 'In Flagrante'. You feel it in some of the expressions, the gestures, particularly because of the [large] format Chris was using. He’s very positioned, there’s no feeling of passing through.”⁠ ⁠ Diane Smyth (@dismy) speaks to former friends and colleagues of Chris Killip, whose estate is now represented by Magnum Photos, as a retrospective goes on show at @thephotographersgallery in London, accompanied by a major new monograph published by @thamesandhudson. ⁠ ⁠ View the full article at the link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ Photos (left to right):⁠ ⁠ (1) Gordon in the water.
