[22] The rage in his work is one of the things I love about it,” says Halpern. “But, for me, it’s the way that rage mixes with a powerful sense of love and a deep sensitivity that makes the work so powerful. With such an important body of work behind him, 74-year-old Chris must feel a certain amount of pride. His friend and fellow photographer Martin Parr described the work as "the key photobook about Britain since the war" and said of Killip, "Chris is without a doubt one of the key players in postwar British photography."Arbeit/Work was published by Steidl in 2012 to accompany Killip's retrospective exhibition at Museum Folkwang, Essen.

For a photographer whose work was grounded in the urgent value of documenting “ordinary” peoples’ lives, these nuanced images―radiating a vast stillness of light and time, embedded with the granularity of lives lived―reveal Killip’s conviction that no life is ordinary: everyday lives are sublime.

Early on he worked as a beach photographer, a job drawing on the Isle of Man’s appeal as a tourist destination, but also requiring some charm.Building ships, from the book Shipbuilding on Tyneside, 1975-1976, by Chris Killip (Image: Chris Killip)
