This 120-page book is a collection of images by Neal Reed that cover the UK drag racing, hot rod, rockabilly and music scene in his own unique "retro" style. These black and white images capture the atmosphere, energy and personalities of the car and music scene.
About the Author
Neal Reed
retrophotouk
Oxfordshire, England
I was born in the wrong decade. Pure and simple.
Modern photography in the style of the classic reportage photographers of the 50's and 60's. My camera gear reflects this, using everything from 6x6 medium format, 35mm SLRs and rangefinders to modern digital. It's just a tool for the job.
My work subjects vary though musicians, weekend events, drag racing, hot rods and classic portrait works. Feel free to get in touch about commissions and prints, and take a look at my site www.retrophoto.co.uk or find me on the massive resource FlickR (link on the retrosite).
