A collection of works by Nick Waplington, a photographer active in the UK and the US. Waplington has presented his work in a wide range of perspectives and stances, from social documentaries to collaborations with fashion designers and artists, self-published zines, and on-demand services. Since 2010, he has also focused on his work as a painter, and continues to explore new artistic expressions with new ideas that are not bound by stereotypes. This book is a new edition of Waplington's representative work, First Book. Since the late 1980s, the Thatcher administration has led to the collapse of industry, increased unemployment, and the decline of the local economy, and this work captures the daily life of a "family" that depicts these realities. This is a masterpiece of a social documentary that embraces various meanings, such as the happiness and prosperity of everyday life, the despair of a future with no prospects, and the economic hardship that lies behind the happiness of the heart, while also appealing to the harsh reality of the daily life of the working class. The new edition follows the same arrangement of landscapes and portraits as the first edition, but includes new, unpublished images from the vast archive of photographs taken at the time, making it a volume that has been edited and compiled from a modern perspective.
