The Teds explores the distinctive subculture of British Teddy Boys through a series of candid and posed portraits that capture their unique style and identity. The photographic approach emphasizes details of dress, attitude, and expression, reflecting the post-war youth’s fascination with 1950s rock’n’roll fashion and rebellion.

The images reveal a mood that oscillates between defiance and nostalgia, underscoring the Teds’ commitment to their aesthetic and social codes. The work offers insight into the intersection of class, youth culture, and fashion during the late 20th century.

The Teds was published in 2002 and contains 128 pages, providing an extended visual document of this enduring cultural phenomenon.
