Críticas

The book captures a dying way of life; exposing a fascinating culture of ferreting, whippet racing and pigeon fancying, as well as the harsh realities of the country side. In a way, his study is a love letter to a region and culture for which he feels deep, undying affection. --Arches

A realistic view of modern country living. Each image provides authentic, natural, and sometimes graphic snaps which celebrate northern life. --Evening Chronicle

A photographic diary of life in the North-East, humorously and sympathetically shot by internationally renowned photographer Chris Steele-Perkins, has been launched by Northumbria University Press. Northern Exposures brings to life a way of living probably never encountered or considered by most - but which will be recognised with fondness by many. --The Northern Echo

Reseña del editor

Capturing the English countryside in iconic and authentic black-and-white photographs, this important collection showcases a life that holds fast to vanishing rural traditions. Affectionate yet unsentimental?with images that present the harsh realities of bloodstained slaughterhouses alongside a nostalgic night hunt?these photographs encompass the common nature and soul of rustic peoples, whose tough grittiness and humor shine through the camera. With a deep appreciation of an idyllic lifestyle, this ethnography is a celebratory document of a threatened existence.
