In this remarkable new volume, photographer Scott Mead (b. 1954) revisits the formative years he spent documenting New England, USA, between 1971 and 1976. Part visual diary, part American road trip, these photographs trace a journey through early adulthood, capturing moments of discovery, ritual, friendship and change against the backdrop of a rapidly shifting world.
This clothbound hardback book presents 100 large-format prints of Mead’s poignant photographs featuring portraits, landscapes, cityscapes and observations of everyday life, inviting them to be seen and considered in a new context.
All of the artist’s proceeds from the book will benefit Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

Scott Mead was born in Washington, D.C., in 1954 and lives in London. He was a photographer for fifteen years when family and career intervened in positive ways. He spent many years in investment banking, mostly setting aside his camera but not his vision. He left finance in 2003 to return to his lifelong passion. In 2018, Mead exhibited his Above the Clouds series at Hamiltons Gallery, London, accompanied by a book of the same name published by Prestel. In 2022, Prestel published his second book Equivalents, an exploration of parallels and contrasts with an introduction by Brad Leithauser.
