The collected photographic works of Eddie Otchere, Britain's foremost chronicler of Black youth culture.

Spirit Behind the Lens takes the reader into the visual world of one of hip-hop's most enigmatic photographers: Eddie Otchere.

Hailing from the epicentre of London's jungle scene, this book documents how Otchere crafted the visual identities of house, garage, jungle, drum n bass and hip-hop, working with artists including Biggie Smalls, Wu-Tang Clan, Lil Louis, So Solid Crew, Kemet Crew, Goldie and Black Star.

Accompanied by a written memoir in which Otchere outlines his practice, influence and personal history, Spirit Behind the Lens is not only a history of Black culture told through the work of its greatest and most influential photographer, but a manual on how to navigate the emotional aspects of being creative and an exploration of the romance of photography itself.
