Goal Posts

When Johnnie Shand Kydd isn’t taking iconic snaps of his famous pals he’s travelling the world documenting all the things you wish you’d seen. His most recent jaunt has been to Naples, a city he describes as ‘like a fantastically beautiful lover who has severe mental health issues.’ Kydd’s fascination with the darker, more mysterious side of the city is captured beautifully in black and white.  Street kids using basilica gates for goal posts, ancient transsexual birth-giving rituals and the infamous Camorra are a few of the subjects that give this exhibition such a unique flavour. Bravissimo!
