Farmer: An intimate documentation of Britain's skateboarding subculture

Farmer is a body of work by Jack Clark that explores Britain's skateboarding subculture. Predominantly focused on one known subject, the series captures the various elements of his identity – including his relationships with others.

Written By:

Clark explains: "By capturing his lifestyle, to the basics of the subculture itself, I wish to portray a very personal study of the subculture of an individual skater’s life. This is an ongoing project that I have been developing since knowing my subject.

"Due to being close childhood friends and remaining friends over the past 10 years, it’s allowed me to access personal details of his life with almost no boundaries. This has enabled me to document minor details and make my project personal and exiting to myself and the audience."
