Ray's a Laugh (Hardcover) is a representative photo book by photographer Richard Billingham, born in Birmingham, England in 1970. This humorous photo book depicts the family life of his alcoholic father Ray, his fat mother Liz, a chain-smoking animal lover, and his younger brother Jason, who was kicked out of the house at age 11 and cared for by strangers before finally returning home. This historic book is said to have had a profound influence on many photographers currently active in the industry. The preface by Robert Frank, photographer for The Americans, speaks volumes about this photo book: "No room for judgment or morality...Reality and no pretence." However, within this lies Richard Billingham's skill in capturing moments, the beauty of his color schemes and composition, and the superb editing and structure of the photo book. Hardcover edition.
