Our Notes
The latest Local Government Homelessness Statistics suggest approximately 80,000 households, in England, are homeless. After conducting interviews with the service users of hostels and homeless charities, photographer John Angerson began to build up a selection of locations, across England, known for being destinations for overnight sleeping. By using only the artificial light found at night; he was forced to make exposures of up to 90 minutes for each photograph. This more oblique approach of documenting the dimly lit stairwells of shopping malls, or strange corners of tourist areas that would normally be packed with day trippers, invites the viewer into another world, evoking a sense of how it might feel to sleep rough.

John started his career in the early 1990s with attention to the different languages of documentary photography, focusing on how specific communities form, shift and develop.
John started his career in the early 1990s with attention to the different languages of documentary photography, focusing on how specific communities form, shift and develop.
He now splits his time between shooting personal projects, teaching at various Universities and shooting features and portraiture for a range of magazines, charities, and design agencies. We love his sharp, focused photographs that seemingly capture a split-second moment in time. John’s monograph, Love, Power, Sacrifice (published by Dewi Lewis, Manchester), documented the Jesus Army over twenty years and peers into a microcosm of a fanatical religion. His most recent book; English Journey (published by B&W studio, Leeds) was a 4-year photographic travelogue across England in the footsteps of Bradford author J.B.Priestley. The work was shown in exhibitions across the UK and Europe and the book has sold across three continents since its publication. We’ve been working with John Angerson since 2021.
We love how John's sharp, focused photographs seemingly capture a split-second moment in time. Each of his photographs are a snapshot of an unexplained and often bizarre scene, leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks and build their own narrative. From his disparate landscapes to his portraits of famous figures, John leaves the audience wanting more information, whether that be of where the photography was taken or what's happening behind the camera.
