Since the early 1970s, Iain McKell has been photographing every corner of British society - from supermodels to shopkeepers, Mods to Rockers, gypsies to the gentry, from cosy bed and breakfasts, kiss-me-quick hats and saucy seaside postcards to squalid squats, urban wastelands and rural raves. McKell's camera has captured Britain's diverse people in all their eccentric and theatrical glory. Featuring an interview with the photographer, this book traverses the full expanse of McKell's career, including images from his acclaimed collections, Fashion Forever and The New Gypsies and many never before published images. Whether in black and white or brilliant colour, the people of Great Britain have never seemed so great, glamorous, gaudy - and beautiful. Includes an essay by William Oliver.

Product Description
Review
Iain McKell has been photographing Britain's subcultures for 30 years, from the seaside resort of Weymouth (his hometown) to the skinhead revival scene in London to fetish clubs, warehouse parties, New Romantics, trance ravers and gangsters. Rather than simply documenting his subjects, McKell often integrally involves himself in the pictures, manipulating them with his own views or actions. --Dazed & Confused, April 2012

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
In the tradition of humorous and insightful but not at all supercilious images of the title. Some memorable images that repay close attention. Variety rather than a specific focus. Very nice.
