In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Killip photographed the economic hardships faced by people in northeast England. Bever was one of the young men he came to know in Skinningrove, a remote coastal village he documented over an extended period. Here, Bever relaxes against a car in the early morning sun. He had just completed a jail sentence for a pub fight and is luxuriating in his first moments of freedom.
