A photograph by Nick Wynne, represented by British Culture Archive, was licensed for inclusion in Elements: Chaos, order and the five elemental forces, published by Thames & Hudson.

The image, Birkenhead, 1989, appears within Stephen Ellcock’s visual exploration of the five natural elements, bringing a moment from late 1980s Merseyside into a wider international publishing context.

Elements brings together imagery from across art, history, science and visual culture. The inclusion of Wynne’s photograph reflects the continued relevance of British documentary photography within serious cultural publishing, and BCA’s role in ensuring represented works are properly licensed, credited and placed.
