CHRIS PORSZ – STREET PHOTOGRAPHER

STREET DREAMS – OUT NOW!
Pre-order Now

“If ‘all the world’s a stage’ then the street is my studio, my blank canvas and so I just wait for characters to walk on or I go in search for them. Formally composing people is not my forte and my imagination is too poor to invent what I witness on the street.

I always carry my camera primed and sometimes without even raising it to my eye, I seize that fleeting moment from the madding crowd before it has gone forever. I constantly look for the sublime to the ridiculous, those juxtapositions and humorous exchanges that most of us miss as we rush by.

In this retrospective I have tried to present some of my favourites from the last decade or so for you to enjoy and although some may not grab you, I do hope on the whole I have chosen well. If they raise a smile in these often sad times, at life’s surreal and dream- like absurdities and interactions on the streets, then I have achieved my goal in Street Dreams.“

REUNIONS 2 

He's only gone and done it again, Chris Porsz is nothing if not dedicated, committed, perhaps obsessed. No, he is obsessed.

It takes a certain kind of obsession to create this, his second book of Reunions. The work he has put into these images is incredible. Bigger and better than ever, this was Chris back to being 'all about the people'. He has told the story of how he went about getting people back together. Sometimes it wasn't always possible to get whole groups reunited in the same image but, for Chris, his meeting with even now lone subjects was enough. They were having a Reunion.

Jo Riley's stories give all the background to the images and tell the stories of the people. Many are happy, some are sad, all are worth reading.

Chris has gone to extraordinary lengths to recreate the images he took many years ago. 'Carrot and Stick' is a perfect example. It doesn't matter that the new photograph wasn't taken at the railway station; Chris has been cleverer than that and it works.
​It's also very funny.

REUNIONS
Available again NOW!
Chris Porsz's celebrated first Reunions book is NOW back in stock.

​More than 40 years in the making, Reunions is Chris Porsz's most ambitious project to date. Chris has spent the last few years tracking down many of the amazing characters who appeared in his early work and photographing them again, often in the same location. This unique collection is a result of tenacious detective work, meticulous planning and, often, unbelievable coincidences. Chris's amazing second book is a fascinating collection of life stories and a valuable social record of a constantly changing city. It makes a wonderful gift and only a limited number of the second edition will be printed, so make sure you order your copy now.

About New England

New towns brought social and cultural changes to England in the 1970s and 1980s that were every bit as radical and challenging as the austerity of the 1950s and the Swinging Sixties. Chris Porsz took to the streets with his camera and captured the changing face and faces of
​a ‘new town’ during those turbulent years and New England is a collection of 170 of his powerful images. These compelling photographs reveal the resignation and resilience in the faces of people coming to terms with the promised opportunities and harsh realities of life in a new town during an often overlooked era.
