ReviewsThe 2023 edition is exquisitely produced, showcasing his photographs in their best light....Rather than fan the flames of the cultural divide with images of poverty, violence and despair, Gavin sows seeds of love. His photographs are shared moments of trust, care and intimacy that remind us to hold what is good close to our heart, and that we hold the power to tell our stories on our own terms., Skins by Gavin Watson has been argued as being 'the single most important record' of 1970s skinhead culture in Britain, who have possibly been one of the most reviled yet misunderstood of the nation's youth subcultures...And now a new edition of a stunning documentary photo book which inspired This is England reveals the true story of England's Skinhead punk culture in the 1970s.

SynopsisA classic among photobooks The most important record of skinhead culture in Britain This book has become a cult itself - Observer Review Skins by Gavin Watson is arguably the single most important record of '70s skinhead culture in Britain. Rightly celebrated as a true classic of photobook publishing, the book is now reissued in a high-quality new edition under close supervision from the photographer. The scores of black and white shots offer a fascinating glimpse into a skinhead community that was multi-cultural, tightly knit and, above all else, fiercely proud of its look. These are classic photographs of historical value. "What makes Gavin's photos so special is that when you look at them, there's clearly trust from the subject towards the photographer, so it feels like you're in the photo rather than just observing." - Shane Meadows (Director of award-winning film This Is England). The book, described by The Times as "a modern classic", forms an important visual record of its time and has attained cult status in the genre, alongside works by other eminent photographers such as Derek Ridgers and Nick Knight. "Arguably one of the best and most important books about youth fashion and culture ever published." - Vice Magazine, * A classic among photobooks* The most important record of skinhead culture in Britain* This book has become a cult itself - Observer ReviewSkins by Gavin Watson is arguably the single most important record of '70s skinhead culture in Britain.
