2024 First Jesus Blue Edition of the seminal publication, adapted from the original design by Tibor Kalman. Book artwork by Jonny Lu Studio.

In reaction to—as Nick Waplington puts it—"the grainy, downtrodden, black-and-white interpretations of working-class life" on generally sees, »Living Room« offers lushly coloured glimpses of the communal spirit, fired by the joys, mishaps, and adventures of family life.

Over the course of four years Nick Waplington became intimately acquainted with two working-class families in Nottingham, England. He spent countless hours becoming part of the boisterous chaos of their lives, photographing them with sympathetic spontaneity.

This young, award-winning photographer's first book, »Living Room«, makes viewers thoroughly at home in its warm, welcoming, noisy world.
