Fogeys

David Stewart

Fogeys is a collection of images created by internationally acclaimed photographer David Stewart, celebrating growing old disgracefully.

Comprising upbeat, positive photographs of elderly people in a series of unpredictable situations, Fogeys includes amusing shots of old men dangling their feet inside freshly dug graves and flying down hills on homemade go-karts, plus the spam ladies and the photostrip girls.

The book comes in a choice of covers – blue-striped pyjamas or floral pink nightie and packaged in a unique candlewick bag.

The book launch and one-off exhibition was at The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), where large-scale iris prints, were on display.

Stewart won the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2015, and has been previously exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery a further 15 times.

In 1995 he directed the Bafta nominated short film Cabbage, which led to the creation of his film and TV production company, Shed Films.
