Killip spent years photographing communities affected by industrial decline in places tied to shipbuilding, coal, and fishing. That long engagement shaped In Flagrante.

Killip worked slowly and stayed close to communities over time. In Flagrante draws power from that long-term contact across the 1970s and 1980s.
