Ewen Spencer's 'One Night In Watford' – Images of Passion, Innocence, and the Youthful Desire for Freedom

Ewen Spencer's new photo book 'One Night in Watford'captures the raw passion, innocence, and youthful desire for freedom that defined the first season of the TV series 'Skins'. Featuring numerous previously unpublished images, the book offers an extended glimpse into the infamous night in Watford when the cast members came together for a wild house party that laid the foundation for a British cultural phenomenon. Across 84 pages, Spencer's photography showcases the energy and spirit that made 'Skins' a cultural milestone. The book is exclusively available in the UK and EU (pre-order, first come, first served).

The iconic photographs by Ewen Spencer c/o LGA MGMT from the first season of the British TV series 'Skins' have left a lasting impact on an entire generation. In 2007, Spencer was commissioned by Channel 4 to create promotional photos for the show. His images capture the unique feeling and atmosphere of the series, authentically portraying the lives of British teenagers. These photographs were not just marketing tools but a lasting artistic work that reflects the youth culture of that time.

“I knew that half the cast had been street cast, that it was being made in Bristol and would tackle real life situations that were perennial to British kids (hedonism, sex, emotional well-being, etc.), and that it was going to be authentic in styling and character,” says Ewen in an interview.

Ewen Spencer is a self-taught photographer, known for his documentary photography often focusing on youth culture and the social dynamics of teenagers. Before 'Skins', Spencer had already published works on the Grime music scene and British club culture. His successful collaboration with Channel 4 led to numerous other assignments and an ongoing career in advertising and fashion photography.

The photo book spans 84 pages in full color with partial duotones. It is lithographically printed on 150gsm silk paper and bound in a duotone Japanese open-bind hardcover with foil detailing. The texts are by Georgie Jesson and Ewen Spencer. The first edition is limited to 1000 copies and is designed and published globally via Friend Editions, New York.
