Jocelyn Bain Hogg | The Firm | 18 September — 31 October 2007

The Firm. Jocelyn Bain Hogg

Intimate, visually surprising, and at times violent, The Firm is fiercer and, in its clever depiction of modern celebrity thugs, more ironic than any Guy Ritchie film.    American Photo

If photography was the sole criterion for membership of The Firm, Bain Hogg would definitely be a member with the ranking of the highest order.  Bruce Gilden

I nearly came when I saw it.  It just looked so fucking naughty.  It looked like it would beat up all the other books in the bookshop, nick the days takings out of the till and run off with the best looking shop assistant.  It is the absolute bollocks mate, believe me, beg, steal or borrow a copy. Or as a last resort buy one.   Dave Courtney

«Sometimes I saw them while doing a photo shoot. They were always around models. Than I was lucky to get acquainted with them on Tenerife island, where they spent holidays together around 140 people».
«They» — it is the Firm. This photography series by Jocelyn Bain Hogg is an intimate four year journey into the dark heart of violence documenting the British criminal underworld.
