Photography, subcultures, and circulation: Reflexions on Miguel Trillo’s skins
Keywords:

Abstract
This article proposes an analysis of the potential of photography as a key element in the dissemination of subcultural aesthetics, taking as a main reference the photographs of several skinheads that Miguel Trillo took in London and Madrid in the early 1980s. These images raise questions about the photographic act, the relationship between photographer and photographed subjects, and the circulation capacity of photography. Under what conditions were taken these photographs and what were the objectives of the portraited subjects and the creators? To what extent can these photographs help us to understand how certain styles were reinterpreted (appropriated, modified, popularized) in different contexts? What challenges emerge when studying print photographs and its reception?Downloads
