Born, raised and currently living Leicestershire (UK), Chris Mear has been making photographs over the last decade about the industrial English landscape and its people, exploring its past and present. 

This week, we’re looking at some of Mear’s work and talking to him about how he uses his photography as a way to understand the social, economic and physical impact that the time of de-industrialisation, which coincided with his own lifetime, has had.
