Scott Mead: Rites of PassageAuthor(s): Scott Mead\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Hurtwood Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Hurtwood Press\nISBN-13: 9780903696722, 978-0903696722\nSynopsis\nPhotographer Scott Mead showcases the poignant black-and-white photographs from his archive for the first time, documenting his early adulthood in New England, USA, from 1971 to 1976. Photographer Scott Mead (b. 1954) revisits his formative years spent documenting New England, USA, in Rites of Passage for the first time. Shot over a five-year period between 1971 and 1976, we follow Mead through early adulthood and explore scenes of discovery, ritual, rural beauty and urban metropolis. At a junction between an American road trip and a personal visual diary, Meads images depict a world as it was then, shaped by political upheaval, profound civil changes and the Cold War. The cloth-bound hardback book features a hundred large-format prints of Meads poignant photographs to be considered in a new contex.
