Have you heard of Stephen Gill? His whole story remains little known because he appears in the media infrequently, but we do know that he was born in Bristol and currently resides and works in rural Sweden. Looking back at his career, it becomes quite clear that he was a very 21st century artist in many ways. His creative style, in which his methods and subjects changed with each new series, is to consider the photographic medium seriously and continue producing meticulously. In this volume, we consider the irresistible appeal of Gill’s personage, manners, and works, which combine childlike innocence with creative rigor.
