SHAW, Chris. Retrospecting Sandy Hill.

(London): Morel Books, 2015.  First edition.  Hardcover. 32.7cm by 23cm  Unpaginated.  Scarce photographic documentation of the people of the Sandy Hill Estate, in Farnham.  Images merge fly-on-the-wall documentary with a raw intimacy. Portraits and snapshot-style glimpses of everyday life on the estate are rendered in high contrast monochrome tones. 80s “soul boys” with their casual style and cars, children, and ordinary people going about their daily routine are all depicted here. The book includes handwritten notes and annotations by Shaw, offering intimate insights into his experiences and the lives of those he photographed. A  near fine copy in photo-illustrated boards.  Published in an edition of 500 copies, sold out and now scarce.
