What they said

People think it was this construct to make himself more interesting, or some great marketing ploy, but it wasn’t. It was self-preservation rather than self-promotion.

Document Journal

Banksy Captured by Steve Lazarides charts the birth of our modern day Robin Hood. A true art legend, a man able to articulate the voice of subculture that made its way to the mainstream.

Banksy Captured

I worked with him for 11 glorious years, during which time we broke every rule in the rule book, along with a fair few laws.

Sky News

My love of photography was borne from my love of graffiti…

GraffitiStreet

The Guardian

BBC News — 2019

There’s a line in Goodfellas I love, which is like, they live like kings, but they had none of the responsibility. And that’s what this time was like. It was pure anarchy.

Sky News — 2019

Banksy Captured Vol. 1 is his visual confession: not a coffee-table celebration, but a brilliant memoir told in pictures.

GraffitiStreet

Every great cultural movement has its accidental archivist. For the birth of 21st-century street art, it was Steve Lazarides, Banksy’s friend, driver, fixer, photographer, and reluctant myth-builder.

GraffitiStreet

Before the galleries, before the auctions, before the anonymity became a brand, there was Bristol, rain-soaked, raw, and fiercely creative.

GraffitiStreet

What makes Vol. 1 so intoxicating is its sense of accidental prophecy. Every frame carries the weight of future legend: the artist painting under bridges, hanging on fences, stencilling…

GraffitiStreet

Banksy Captured is the closest you get to a myth being revealed — every frame is a fleeting incident, not just a static object. The book is a piece of living history, bracingly unpolished.

Juxtapoz

Lazarides writes with bruised hindsight, blending nostalgia and dry humour. Banksy Captured isn’t just a photo book; it’s a memoir, an accidental time capsule of a scene as it exploded.

GraffitiStreet

A book for those who want the truth about a movement, not its myth. Lazarides was there, camera in hand, with only a rough sense of how big it would become.
