NEW STUFF – TEN ‘TIL LATE BY MARK MCNULTY

New Stuff – Ten ‘til Late by Mark McNulty

Café Royal Books, Southport’s finest purveyors of staple-bound British documentary photography visuals, have republished Ten ‘til Late by Mark McNulty. Originally released back in 2013, this is a 28 page wander into the world of late 80s and early 90s club culture, complete with Vicks sweatshirts and a few loose bottom jaws.

Thanks to Mark’s high-class, up-close, flashed-out photos, this is a lot more than just a nostalgic look at a distant time, and is worth a look even if you’ve got zero interest in clubs and going out and all that — it’s rare that a subculture is shot with such skill.

Here’s what Mark had to say about the photos when I talked with him a year of so back…

“It was all about finding the right place. Using the flash, you didn’t just want to photograph someone against a wall, because it didn’t look very interesting. You had to be in the middle to get all the flashing lights and everything. The people at the edge are usually just standing around, so you had to get involved.”
