Taken over a five-year period between 1971 and 1976, Scott Mead's black-and-white photographs of New England, USA, explore scenes of discovery, ritual, rural beauty and urban metropolis.
In Rites of Passage, photographer Scott Mead revisits his formative years in New England, USA. Taken over a five-year period between 1971 and 1976, the black-and-white photographs explore scenes of discovery, ritual, rural beauty and urban metropolis.
Situated somewhere between an American road trip and a personal visual diary, Mead's images capture a world as it was then, shaped by political upheaval, profound civil change and the Cold War. The tensions embedded in these photographs resonate today amid a fraught social landscape and increasing polarisation. Recent global events prompted Mead to reflect deeply as he explored his photographic archive.
This clothbound hardback book features 100 large-format prints of Mead's poignant work. Shot on 35mm black-and-white film, the images portray life in a time of transition, drawing the viewer's eyes into their atmospheric compositions and rich textures. Rites of Passage presents Mead's delicate, often amusing and sometimes uneasy portraits alongside cityscapes, landscapes and snapshots of the lives of friends and strangers.

Scott Mead was born in Washington, DC, in 1954 and lives in London. He was a photographer for fifteen years until family and career intervened. After many years working in investment banking, Mead left the industry in 2003 to return to his lifelong passion for photography. In 2018, Mead's work Above the Clouds was exhibited at Hamiltons Gallery, London. His book of the same name was published by Prestel in 2017. In 2022, Prestel published his second book Equivalents, an exploration of parallels and contrasts, featuring an introduction by Brad Leithauser.
