Liz Johnson Artur relives how she photographed the anything-goes spirit of this DIY oasisFor more than three decades, Liz Johnson Artur has photographed “the people I’m with” – a characteristically modest expression that belies the radiance, intimacy and unshowy brilliance of her pictures, an extraordinary archive numbering thousands of images that celebrate beauty, resilience, community and resistance. Intimate and alive, her photographs – often shot on the fly, in streets, nightclubs and living rooms – pull you right into the moment, just before it disappears for good.PDA, the photographer’s latest book, celebrates a bygone London underground music scene.
