NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Russell Boyce, 60, went to the Star and Garter pub in Hull, East Yorkshire, every lunchtime as an art school student, using his 35mm camera to capture locals enjoying pints.
And now, 39 years later, after working as a photographer for news agency Reuters, he returned to his old haunt to recapture similar scenes, with the aim of showing how life inside had changed.
Russell said the port city had been in ‘decline’ during the 80s, and most of the people who frequented the bar were ‘retired old fishermen or those out of work’.
But he said locals, who at first ‘teased’ him about his attempts to take pictures, had later largely ignored him, which allowed him to capture them intimately.
