Chris Killip: 1946-2020

Product Information

Of all Chris Killip’s (1946–2020) bodies of work, the photographs he made between 1982 and 1984 in the village of Skinningrove on the North-East coast of England are perhaps his most intimate and encompassing―of the community he photographed and of himself. “Like a lot of tight-knit fishing communities, it could be hostile to strangers, especially one with a camera,” Killip recalled, “Skinningrove fishermen believed that the sea in front of them was their private territory, theirs alone.” Chris Killip is being honoured with the Dr. Erich Salomon Award" (PDF), DGPh (German Photographic Society), 25 September 2020.

Although four images from the series were included in his groundbreaking In Flagrante (1988), Killip resisted collecting all in a single book for over three decades―he had become so invested in them and respectful of his subjects that he needed time and distance to understand their significance. For a photographer whose work was grounded in the urgent value of documenting “ordinary” peoples’ lives, these nuanced images―radiating a vast stillness of light and time, embedded with the granularity of lives lived―reveal Killip’s conviction that no life is ordinary: everyday lives are sublime.

Your article ( Chris Killip, hard-hitting photographer of Britain’s working class, dies aged 74, 14 October) says “Killip was not given the recognition he deserved by major British art and photography institutions.”Arriving in the region initially after being awarded a two-year fellowship by Northern Arts, he became a founding member, exhibition curator and advisor of the Side Gallery in Newcastle. And this approach underscored what Killip did with his work after he’d shot it; his careful editing or his choices about how to show it. I was invited over, and they said 'try it for a year, and see if you like it', and I ended up staying in the job for nearly 30 years," he says today.

Chris Killip, who has died aged 74 from lung cancer, was one of Britain’s greatest documentary photographers. His most compelling work was made in the north-east of England in the late 1970s and early 80s and was rooted in the relationship of people to the places that made – and often unmade – them as the traditional jobs they relied on disappeared. In 1988 he published In Flagrante, a landmark of social documentary that has influenced generations of younger photographers. His friend and fellow photographer Martin Parr described it as “the best book about Britain since the war”. The rage in his work is one of the things I love about it,” says Halpern. “But, for me, it’s the way that rage mixes with a powerful sense of love and a deep sensitivity that makes the work so powerful.For the next few years, Killip worked at night in his father’s pub and, by day, travelled the island shooting his first series of landscapes and portraits. The island had become a tax haven for outsiders and Killip rightly sensed that its traditional jobs were under threat. He set out to evoke that disappearing way of life and, in doing so, set the tone for much of what was to follow, not just in terms of his choice of subject matter, but in his formal rigour and deeply immersive, slowly evolving approach.

Firstly, it made the work accessible and affordable. Secondly, zies were an integral part of punk culture. Thirdly and perhaps most importantly, he was able to give out free copies in Skinnigrove, getting opeople there involved in the distribution – people he still knew after so long.
