While I was away in the UK this arrived, a new Thomas & Hudson monograph of mainly unseen work by Chris Killip. It was edited by Mark Holborn and is beautifully designed,  this includes a lovely slipcase. Holborn has found many interesting and meaningful unpublished images in the Killip archive. I notice that many of the photographs are not as technically perfect as the ones the photographer chose himself. Maybe that precision mattered to Chris as he was trained in advertising, who knows. To me it bears no consequence so we get to see many ‘new’ wonderful images here. I will spend along time with this book as the evenings draw in. Killip captured a world long gone and I will always wonder what he might photographed later in the 1980’s and 90’s in Britain. But he had the opportunity to move here to the USA and teach at Harvard. But that doesn’t really matter now as he left a wealth of material and I am sure more great photographs will emerge with time as scholars like Holborn dissect his archive. Order one now for Christmas as I’m sure the first edition will go quickly. Historical photobook of the year for sure, amazing.

When Mark Holborn, the editor of In Flagrante, approached us about creating a new book it was impossible to say no. I knew from conversations with Chris how much he trusted Mark’s eye as an editor, and we gladly placed the entirety of Chris’s archive in his hands.

The resulting book is finally here: North, a restless journey through Chris’s years photographing across the North of England. Around half of the images have never been published before, and it’s been exciting to see photographs that have remained unseen, including quieter landscapes and smaller, more intimate moments, brought into conversation with images we have known and loved for years.

North is out in the UK today, published by @thamesandhudson , and will be released in the US on October 6th by @thamesandhudsonusa . A French edition, published by @editions_textuel , will also be released in October.

Our heartfelt thanks to Mark Holborn, to Jesse Holborn @designholborn for his bold design – that slipcase! – and to everyone at T&H, in particular Lazlo Rugoff @lazlorugoff.pdf , Sadie Butler @sadiebutler and Andrew Sanigar @andrewsanigar .

Happy Birth AND Father’s Day to you @matthewkillip ❤️. Sorry it’s a two for one this year… but doesn’t diminish the fact that you are “the best dad in the US” - quote from Celia and that your “older” wife is happy that you were born and that we met and built a life together!  We love you Matt.  Enjoy your free days away from us with Willa!
