Gavin Watson

Gavin Watson has two new books recently the first Skins and Punks carries on from his first book 'Skins' showing more intimite photos of the sub cultures and the movements from one sub-culture into the next.



His third book 'Raving 89' done with his brother Neville, again gives us the perspective of someone who was a part of the movement/sub-culture giving a completely honest account and an account without scrutiny of the subjects. I think this is why Gavin's work is so great, he gives an insiders eye of these sub-cultures. Giving the message or the essance of that culture to the viewer as if they were there themselves.
