Classroom Portraits by Julian Germain

208 pages of photographs taken by Germain between 2004-2012 of pupils in their classrooms all over the world. The last 20 pages of the book contain classroom statistics taken where possible (what is the most common topic of conversation with your friends? what is your wish for the next year? what do you believe in?)

‘Now I realise there is a complete absence of adults within these pages, despite the fact that it is teachers, parents, politicians, academics, tax payers, ‘us’ (and previous generations) that have shaped the world these young people are in [...] ours is the hidden hand behind every one of these pictures. With that in mind, what do I feel when I look at so many young people looking back at me?’
