Gavin Watson posters

Gavin Watson is an acclaimed documentary and portrait photographer who grew up in the tough council estates and back-streets depicted so grittily in the stunning images contained within Skins and Skins and Punks. 

At the age of 13, he started photographing his friends and associates ‘hanging out’. His natural eye for a moment in time and the stark brutal honesty of the images he captured have made his collection of work one of the UK’s finest documentary portfolios.

Watson then grew up to become a professional photographer and undertaken work for many global companies including Dr Martens, countless music magazines and music TV channels, has produced album cover artwork, as well as being featured himself in fashion bibles such as i-D and The Face and numerous high-profile exhibitions.

Watson has also collaborated with film director Shane Meadows on the production of This is England.
