After the Coal Dust records moments in time.
Each image tells a story. Each photograph is absolutely complete.
This is not an easy task for any photographer. The Gills unique book is not about despair but about survival, acceptance, and emotional understanding.
You find yourself taking time over each page, drinking in the light and shade of the scene in front of you. Perhaps, as a photographer, wishing that you could have captured that image.
The fact is that this is one of the very best books of photography to come to the table. An outstanding production: the beautiful images carefully edited and thoughtfully chosen.

I’ve followed Bridget and John for a few years and loved their work with street portraits and photography. Hearing they had a book coming out was brilliant. The book has almost all my favourite shots, albeit missing the Infamous ‘Lycra Man’. The presentation and quality is outstanding. I loved it.

Waited patiently for this book to be released, wasn’t disappointed great photography from John and Bridget. Street photography at its best, every day life captured through the lens. I bought the large copy well worth extra price. Well done to you both

I can only recommend the book to everyone. “After the Coal Dust” captures moments in time.
Every picture tells a story. Any photo is absolutely complete.
This is not an easy task for any photographer. The Gills’ unique book is not about despair, but about survival, an acceptance and emotional understanding. You take your time with each page and soak in the lights and shadows of the scene in front of you.
Perhaps as a photographer you wish you could have captured this picture. In fact, this is one of the best photo books to ever come out. An excellent production: the beautiful images have been carefully edited and thoughtfully selected.
