Ever since being introduced to the work of Chris Steel-Perkins by a friend, I have been a fan of his gritty, yet beautiful work. Depicting the lives of unglamourous, ordinary folk, with empathy rather than amusement, Steel-Perkins picks out the details, whether it is a couple enjoying themselves on a dancefloor or a teenager on a donkey on a beach.
The latest collection of his work is featured at the Northumbria University Gallery in Newcastle, and runs until 4 June.
For fans of authentic photography, I thoroughly recommend it.
