Chris Killip's work captures the heartbreaking impact of de-industrialization in Northern England, using photography to document the struggles of neglected communities during the 1970s and 1980s.
In his seminal book In Flagrante, Killip illustrated the slow erosion of labor and community in England's North East, presenting a visceral portrayal of life amid industrial decline.
For fellow photographer Martin Parr, Killip’s In Flagrante offers "the best book about Britain since the war," highlighting the stark realities of austerity and economic despair.
Killip's images, particularly from Skinningrove, reflect a deep commitment to capturing intimate narratives of a community, revealing the 'collective obsession' of the local fishermen with the sea.
