Richard Billingham
	Billingham began photographing his family as reference material for paintings while he was an art student at the University of Sunderland six years ago. The subjects are his father Ray, a chronic alcoholic who rarely leaves the house, his obese and tattoed mother Liz, his unruly younger brother Jason, as well as a menagerie of pets with whom they all live in a cramped lower-class council flat.
