This week, we’re talking i-D, straight up! We discuss the birth of the straight up photography style, one that uses head-to-toe portraits to capture people in both real and imaginary situations. We hear from Steve Johnston, the photographer whose images of punks on the King’s Road became the catalyst for street style photography as we know it. And we learn how Steve’s original straight ups went on to form the basis of a little known magazine called i-D, a hand-stapled fanzine founded by Terry Jones in 1980.
