During his foundation art course in Birmingham, Billingham lived with his father, Ray, and started taking black and white photographs of him. In 1996, a book of these family photographs, Ray's a Laugh, was published. Ray is the focus throughout the book. An alcoholic man who needs as much attention as a baby, his presence is constant, even when he is not in the frame.
