"When We Were Young" is a photobook by British photographer Derek Ridgers. Active since the 1970s, Ridgers is currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity and a renewed appreciation for his work. After studying graphic design in college, he worked as an art director at an advertising agency before starting his career as a photographer in earnest in the 1980s. While making a name for himself with commercial photography, including portraits of major artists in various general interest and fashion magazines, his interest in music led him to frequent live music venues and clubs night after night, photographing rockers and punks dressed in unique fashion. This book, published in 2004, which led to Ridgers' resurgence in popularity, is a collection of portraits of young people frequenting clubs. It features a variety of unique works depicting subcultures such as punk rockers, skinheads, tattooed individuals, mohawks, and dreadlocks. A powerful book that tells the story of the British underground scene of the 70s and 80s.
