Reviews
"Whoever made this photograph has found his eyes."--Richard Avedon (about the cover of "Living Room")
"[Waplington's] main concern is to create genuinely funny photographs that manage to be compassionate and illuminating as well. "Living Room" is evidence of a startling new talent."--"Camera and Darkroom"
"Waplinigton's color images are lively and believable because in making them he became part of these surroundings, seizing the chaos, the fun, the bad times, the movement."--the "New Yorker"
"In ["Living Room"] . . . a garish and intensely intimate look into the lives of two families on a Nottingham estate--Waplington subverted most of the unwritten conventions of social documentary photography. Instead of dealing with working-class life in black-and-white and from a discreet and pseudoimpartial distance, Waplington went in very tight, very wide and for a very long time."--the "Independent," London
