-
Chris Steele-Perkins represents a later generation of social documentary photographers inspired by ordinary aspects of life in Britain. Many of his photographs of England in the 1970s and early 1980s have a quality of critical nostalgia, showing not only the faded charm of seaside towns, but the tawdry aspects as well.
