Iconic British photographer Daniel Meadows has been documenting the world around him for almost half a century. He calls it celebrating the felt life of the great ordinary. Throughout this time, Daniel has encountered and captured strangers all over England.

Fiercely independent, Meadows has had a unique artistic journey. He first ran a free portrait studio in Manchester’s Moss Side in 1972. Then he traveled 10,000 miles in a converted double-decker bus, the Free Photographic Omnibus, setting up impromptu portrait sessions in towns and cities across the country’s heartland. 25 years later, he decided to reunite with some of the people he met during the 1970s.

The title Now and Then is a perfect reflection of Meadows’ work which involved him photographing his subjects across long intervals in their lives. These photographs — children, adults, couples captured in the 1970s and again in the 1990s have made a very important contribution to documentary journalism as a whole.
