The Photographers Gallery’s show Fresh Faced and Wild Eyed 08 features Steve Schofield’s  Land of the Free series.

Yes, the contrast between the homes and the fans’ costumes is comedy gold but it’s the stories implied, the personalities that come through because and in spite of the costumes, the familiar situation simultaneously celebrated and subverted that makes this series so good for me. This is just the sort of thing we look for in our films too, to visit the familiar and average with a fresh perspective that renews the topic.

Do please have a look at the full series, it’s genius.
