Published for the First Time: Color Photographs by Chris Killip

Chris Killip is widely known for his gritty and alluring black and white photographs, especially those published in In Flagrante (1988).

If you've ever wondered what his color work would look like, you'll be happy to peruse Thames and Hudson's Here Comes Everybody: Chris Killip's Irish Photographs.

Less raw and less gritty, these color images are quiet and contemplative, providing more of a sense of calm in contrast to the angst of the Seacoal pictures.

The hills, the roads and the sea are perfectly bare in all of their color, yet the landscape somehow maintains a mystery. You want to go into these places and explore.

Printed small (only about 4 x 6 inches) the viewer is immediately drawn in and left wanting more.
