RIP Chris Killip

Hi

Chris Killip the Social photographer has died aged 74 from cancer

His work was related to the social issues particularly in the 1980s. In 1987 whilst living in New Zealand I saw his exhibition The A1000

In the mid 1960s he began his career as an assistant to Adrian Flowers and worked as a commercial photographer for several years

His book In Flagrante was based on the exhibition and is a stunning record of the social division in the 1980s when we had structural unemployment and the north was suffering

Chris died to soon 74 is not a great age today and he was still working on and of

RIP Chris
