A documentary photography monograph by British photographer Derek Ridgers, presenting a visual record of London youth culture between 1978 and 1987. Working in the streets, clubs and music venues of London, Ridgers photographed the young people who defined a transformative decade in British cultural history.
His portraits capture the individuality, attitude and style of emerging subcultures — from the final years of punk through to the early stirrings of acid house. Rather than presenting these scenes as spectacle, Ridgers approached his subjects with directness and authenticity. The resulting images feel immediate and unfiltered, preserving the identities of a generation that helped shape the visual language of modern youth culture.
Originally published by Damiani in 2013, this example is from the third printing issued in February 2015. The volume brings together a carefully edited selection of Ridgers' photographs from the period, reproduced in both black-and-white and colour within a substantial hardback format.
A focused documentary work with strong visual presence, and a compelling record of London's cultural and stylistic evolution during a decade of profound change. Labeled by Maker
