‘Buffalo pioneer Jamie Morgan is celebrating the kids of Britain’

British photographer Jamie Morgan has always had a soft spot for photographing young people, capturing models “before they become too self-aware.” For him, they are “the most real and honest subjects.”

“I think they hold strength and integrity, simultaneously with their innocence,” Jamie says. Youth culture is the focus of Future Generation, a new portrait series of his that will be exhibited at London’s Ladbroke Hall this month. Revisiting the iconoclastic Buffalo style movement (that Jamie co-pioneered with the late stylist Ray Petri in the 80s) is just one intention behind the project, which has ballooned to a collection of 160 images — though only 30 will be displayed in the exhibition.

The show will be free to attend for the public, as well as double as a charitable event, with the proceeds from single-edition print sales going to The Dalgarno Trust. Jamie describes the exhibition as “a celebration of young people in Britain.” He adds, “In a way I have created my own vision of a future generation, one where we go beyond a strict view of gender identity, one where we all have become a racial and cultural mix, where you are not defined by your social background; in this place we are all individuals and equal. It might sound utopian but that’s the beauty of creativity, you can dream!”
