Depictions of The United Kingdom’s everyday people and landscapes, The British Isles presented by MACK Books is an account of thirteen years of life across the country, as seen through the lens of photographer Jamie Hawkesworth.
Schoolchildren and shopworkers, markets and estates, priests and professionals, cities and construction sites, in this sequence of portraits and landscapes, Hawkesworth surveys the characters and terrains that make up the everyday fabric of his home country.
These nuanced and empathetic photographs, portray an alternative history of this eventful period of British history; a period punctuated by austerity, referenda, celebration, and conflict. And yet as much as a historical document this book is an exercise in curiosity, presenting a radically democratizing portrait of the United Kingdom in which individuals, buildings, and natural scenes are imbued with Hawkesworth’s generous and dignifying eye.
