Book Synopsis
It was the amazing statistic which got Chris Steele-Perkins attention. There are 10,000 people aged over 100 in the UK and that number is growing rapidly. Fading Light is a moving book showing the increasing number of centenarians and their miraculous ability to survive until the great age of 100.

Trade Review
Praise fro Chris Steele-Perkins "Documentary approach that shows the English at work and at play over the last four decades. By turns gritty and evocative, it is a book one imagines that Orwell would have liked very much." The Guardian, Photobooks of the Year 2009 "The book contains some strong and touching images, and is very good on some key points in the difficult evolution of a multicultural nation." British Journal of Photography "It captures the little triumphs and larger miseries of the lives of ordinary people - the poor and the upwardly mobile, the idle and the abandoned." New Statesman
