Scott Mead delves into his extensive photographic archive to reflect on family, legacy and what it means to share lessons with future generations. 'Thoughts For My Children took shape over many years, in many places and at many times. Perspectives and insights on life’s journey would come to me, usually out of the blue and at unexpected times, sometimes on planes far above the clouds, in new places or in familiar surroundings where my mind would wander. At first, I would jot them down on small pieces of paper or in my journal or somewhere else, in a not particularly organised way. Every so often, what I had recalled as a worthwhile thought was lost with the paper it was written on and so eventually the phone became the safest place to store them.' – Scott Mead Over time, this collection of thoughts evolved into a book that explores family, legacy and what it means to share the lessons we learn with future generations. The images that sit alongside the text, part of Mead’s extensive photographic archive, continue to resonate beyond the pages of the family album and expand the reach of the words into something at once deeply personal and universal. Thoughts for My Children is meant to be picked up and carried with you, the small format inviting moments of contemplation and celebrating the lives unfolding around it. It was made about and for the passing of time – a voice to return to in moments of difficulty and happiness, and a companion for wherever life may take you.

Taken over a five-year period between 1971 and 1976, Scott Mead’s black-and-white photographs of New England, USA, explore scenes of discovery, ritual, rural beauty and urban metropolis.In Rites of Passage, photographer Scott Mead revisits his formative years in New England, USA. Taken over a five-year period between 1971 and 1976, the black-and-white photographs explore scenes of discovery, ritual, rural beauty and urban metropolis.Situated somewhere between an American road trip and a personal visual diary, Mead’s images capture a world as it was then, shaped by political upheaval, profound civil change and the Cold War. The tensions embedded in these photographs resonate today amid a fraught social landscape and increasing polarisation. Recent global events prompted Mead to reflect deeply as he explored his photographic archive.This clothbound hardback book features 100 large-format prints of Mead’s poignant work. Shot on 35mm black-and-white film, the images portray life in a time of transition, drawing the viewer’s eyes into their atmospheric compositions and rich textures. Rites of Passage presents Mead’s delicate, often amusing and sometimes uneasy portraits alongside cityscapes, landscapes and snapshots of the lives of friends and strangers.
