Review
"No hidden agendas, no exploitation, just a short cut to knowing what it was like to be there. - Martin Parr Ken Grant's photographs of friendship, family, the mundane values of family life, are an intimate sort of photography, not so much recording as remembering, a savouring of all those past shared moments. - Chris Killip
Product Description
Rooted in autobiography, Grant's work covers a fifteen year period. It focuses on the part of Merseyside where he was brought up and still lives. There is little industry, work is often casual and infrequent and their are few guarantees for the future. These are lives that are improvised and uncertain and in The Close Season he looks at how this disaffected and dislocated community responds to the limited horizons of its world.
