About my first book 'Men of Milk' (2012):

This book provides an intimate documentary view on the aspects of lives of those, who work for Kay’s dairy and at the same time - commit with the cultural practice, that has been unique to this country for many years. This photographic collection is exclusive in manner of consistency of something ordinary - even extraordinary, public have a little knowledge of. The first half of the book focuses on telling a story of an ordinary day at Kay’s Dairy through the photographs put into sequence. The other half is aimed on its employees, who are depicted (not only) at work outside of the dairy.

The book is held in these collections:

Wigan Archive, UK
Chetham's Library, UK
