Two volumes of photographs by British artist David Bailey focusing on the changing streets of King’s Cross presented alongside portraits of the homeless.

King’s X brings together King’s Cross and Street People King’s Cross in one slipcased limited edition.

King’s Cross focuses on the fast-changing landscape of the King’s Cross area. Bailey’s relatively recent photographs – together with an insightful text by Francis Hodgson – are a testament to the ever-changing city and the stories held within. Bailey presents a striking yet complementary contrast to the street photography of King’s Cross in Street People King’s Cross, turning his famed portraiture to the people that live on those very streets. Initially commissioned by The Big Issue in 1999, these portraits of homelessness showcase Bailey’s unsurpassed talent in capturing unexpected aspects of his subjects, challenging preconceptions with a quiet immediacy.

Beautifully presented, this limited edition large format two-book set presents Bailey’s photography in stunning detail. Each book includes a newly commissioned text by Francis Hodgson, former photography critic for the Financial Times.

For every copy of this book sold, a £10 donation will be made to a homeless charity.
