Although most of his family hailed from Yorkshire, Richard Gaunt was born in Lancashire and grew up in Darlington, where he attended QEGS. His education also included Corpus Christi College Cambridge, and University of Wales College Cardiff. His working life included spells in construction, chemicals, steel and local government, followed by 25 years as a director of a policy and research consultancy based in Cardiff. From his teenage years onwards, however, he has been taking photographs of the changing face of life in Britain. His photographs have been widely published; this is his sixth book for Fonthill Media.
