He has produced many books, one of which is entitled "Stranger Passing". In this book he explores social class and stereotypes.
I think that the stereotypes for each subject are easily readable and I like looking at how each person presents themselves. Their poses are all typical of their stereotype, e.g. the teenager at the top looks like he doesn't really care, as I assume he's trying to be "cool" judging by his pose and the t-shirt hanging from his trouser line.
However, the man who is propped up on the trolley can be taken two ways. I am suspecting he is slightly drunk but I cannot work out if his life possessions are in the trolley as there is a sleeping bag or whether he has just been to buy it. This is confusing as he appears to be in a residential area. Either way, his pose suggests that he also does not really care and is trying to come across that he isn't bothered about the photograph being taken.
