The Gamblers has been a long running project for Martin Amis, who has made pictures of racegoers over a number of years. Martin Amis' photobook 'The Gamblers' is the culmination of his long-term project photographing at racecourses across the South of England. 'The Gamblers' is an affectionate portrait of the racing crowd, a well-informed tribe of racing enthusiasts, from a quirky mix of class and social backgrounds, who come together to find the next winner. Martin immersed himself in the racing crowds, camera at the ready, often betting himself as he sought his next subject. Despite covering so many races over more than a decade with a variety of cameras and shooting strategies, Martin has skillfully collected his images into a single story. Filled with moments of gentle humour, 'The Gamblers' will take you from highs to lows, through moments of tension to the frenetic and jubilant energy of the holding the winning slip.
