"Hackney Kisses" is a collection of works by British photographer Stephen Gill. Influenced by his father, who was also a photographer, Gill learned how to print in the darkroom from an early age, and was interested in the nature and insects around him. He is a genuine photographer who started working at a photography company in Bristol during his junior high and high school years, and by his mid-20s had already become a full member of Magnum Photos. However, in search of a freer photographic expression, he soon left Magnum and, instead of entering the commercial world, he devoted himself to his own creative activities. He is a photographer who continues to pursue originality and new creative expression by incorporating new elements from various angles, such as concepts, cameras used, shooting styles, subject selection, and printing methods. This is a found photo book edited with a focus on "kissing scenes at weddings" from negatives taken by an unknown photographer in East London that Gill happened to get his hands on.
