Description

Gavin Watson's Skins is a seminal record of 1970s skinhead culture in Britain, offering a fascinating glimpse into a multi-cultural, tightly knit community that was fiercely proud of its look. The book features a collection of black and white photographs that capture the essence of this era, providing a unique visual record of its time. Shot with trust and intimacy, these photographs convey a sense of camaraderie and belonging among the subjects, making them feel like they're part of the image rather than just being observed. This is a book that has attained cult status in the genre, alongside works by other eminent photographers, and is widely regarded as an important visual record of its time. With its high-quality new edition, Skins is now available to be appreciated by new generations of readers, offering a valuable insight into a pivotal moment in British cultural history.
