Collection of Documentaries magazine

C.O.D is a body of work, a collection of documentaries, exploring British culture in a modern day society and challenging contemporary views on "REAL BRITAIN".
Considering ways in which Britain has influenced youth worldwide, a selection of photographers, writers, and creatives alike have curated a collaborative body of work in a celebration of what we believe is "REAL BRITAIN".

The following is from It's Nice That blog...

"C.O.D is what it says on the tin," says Lee Crichton, editor and creator of Collection of Documentaries - a weighty tome celebrating a gritty adoration of British culture. "The magazine started off as me thinking I wanted to recreate The Face, which obviously was impossible. I starting researching British-inspired magazines and thought there was a gap to create something new and fresh. I then got in touch with Sheryl Garrett of The Face for advice on how to put such a publication together."
And what a publication. Sparsely designed and so heavy it flops about pleasantly in your arms like a big bag of chips, C.O.D really is unlike anything else on the magazine racks - maybe because it's more like a book. The photo essays by some of the most exciting and up-and-coming photographers from all over the world are a lovely mix of homoerotic, violent and nostalgic, and are accompanied by beautiful, small passages of text by the contributors. Towards the rear end of the magazine, photographer Elizabeth Gregory writes: "I look out across London tonight, my sparkly ugly London, I think of everyone who has stood here before me. The politicians, the campaigners, the workers, the novelists, the poor, the mods, the rockers, and the punks. I am suddenly devoured by my insignificance: it's all so much bigger than me. And then I am slightly comforted, because after all this, this is Britain."
