New England

More about the book

Chris Porsz is an accidental hero. When he took his first photographs in the 1970she would never have dreamed it would lead to a book and a worldwide following.He liked 'snapping' and pursued his hobby in a haphazard way, shooting whatcaught his eye, perhaps interacting with his subjects briefly before moving on.He was really only interested in the punks, teds, skinheads, rockers,old people, drunk people, happy people, sad people, amazing people.In the early days he didn't think about how the streets themselves would change;neither did he imagine how the reminders of buildings long-demolished andshop names long gone from the high street would evoke fond memories among21st century viewers.New England is rapidly becoming a cult classic and The Photographers Gallery, Tate Modern and the Victoria and Albert Museum bookshops who stock the book cannot all be wrong!
