Chris Steele-Perkins (1947) – took photographs of the progressive commercialisation of English cities. He was also interested in the relatively new phenomenon of youth sub-cultures – in his famous album The Teds (1979) he took portraits of the Teddy Boys, who drew from Edwardian fashions. The majority of his projects are devoted to Third World issues, and modern armed conflicts (Beirut: Frontline Story, 1981; Afghanistan, 2001).
