came via brief encounter at a bus stop in the coastal town of Watchet, west Somerset. “I saw this guy at a bus station – I didn’t have a camera on me, which is one of my great regrets – but he was sporting a major love bite,” Richmond tells AnOther. “He had a half-empty bottle of cider with him and it just seemed like it was something very free and easy … it just set off a train of thought, from this grittiness to a very English moment.
The new book is the culmination of six years spent documenting the region, and marks Richmond’s second long-term documentary title, after his 2015 book This slow, dedicated approach also allows Richmond to build a deep trust with his subjects, photographing some of them several times over a series of years. “There was a great guy called Stu, who lives in a van, and he was very reticent to be photographed initially, but then I photographed him maybe five times over about three years,” says Richmond. “It was always great to see him again; he was definitely a real individual.
