Family Photography Now (Thames & Hudson, 2016) is a sort of follow-up to Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren’s Street Photography Now of 2010.

James Baldwin, Richard Avedon – ‘Nothing Personal’

The photographs of our heroes, they’re really, really great, really, and those other people in there, we love them, really. …
