Much of the work in this new book was commissioned; Homer was constantly busy covering so many different subjects, not just British Life as featured in this book but also on international assignment. He photographed with a subjective eye for an objective purpose, and was given great freedom in the editing of his work. In Colour Works: the 1980s and 90s, he has brought together some of his favourite images in a cohesive edit of over 140 photographs. They tell a very British story, in his unique way. The book includes extended captions, not just a place and date, but information that offers a social and historical standpoint to give the reader another perspective.
