The book acquired a curious reputation over the years, that it was something to do with Margaret Thatcher, that it was old school documentary, that its author didn't want it republished. The appearance of In Flagrante Two clears up all of the rumors decisively.The photographs were made in the the northeast of England between 1973 and 1985, during which time Margaret Thatcher was one of four leaders of the British Government. Killip makes this point in a terse epilogue, but apart from a thumbnailed list of titles on the final page, In Flagrante contains no other text. It speaks entirely through its images.In Flagrante has the documentary look of Paul Strand's T'ir A'Mhurain, but it is as though Killip is in among the pictures themselves rather than at a discreet, large-format distance. He is a humanist to Strand's communist, his is a world of individuals, not of ideals. Strand photographed a world before the Fall, Killip after it. In the forward to his 2009 collection, Arbeit, Killip quoted his Boston friend, John Clifford: “ I don’t know nothing about no f…ing history, I’m just telling you what happened”. That's the way In Flagrente speaks. We don't need to be told about de-industrialization, and urban decay, and government austerity, and all the rest; it's all there in the pictures.The book itself is a splendid object. The pages are thick and large, nothing runs across the gutter, and the images are all printed on the recto side, with verticals requiring a half-turn for viewing. I'm sure Chris Killip is mighty pleased with In Flagrante Two. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing B&W photos of working class england *by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020* This book blew me away. I am a photographer and a collector of photo books with a very specialized collection of some of the most important photobooks from the last 50 years from US, E.Europe, and England. This book has a powerful message as Chris Killip makes insightful images using a large format B&W camera. I especially am drawn to the way his images focus on environmental portraiture so that the architecture and landscape inform the individuals and their experience and position in history, rather than traditional portraits that focus exclusively on the psychology/emotion of the sitter. This new edition from Steidl has the highest quality image reproduction and the book itself is a wonderful 11.5 x 14.5 inches so you can really get into the images. Top shelf, though not for the faint at heart as these images are by no means rosey, but give voice to people on the margins in 1980's England. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A reference book in the history of late XXth century world photography *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2020* Killip's esthetics and expression of his empathy for class of small farmers (Isle of Man) and blue-collar workers and youths in the north of England are deeply touching, all the more that his style and esthetics stand in total accord with his subjects.
