'The New Gypsies' ['Los Nuevos Gitanos'] es un trabajo del fotógrafo británico Iain McKell para el que ha venido retratando a algunos grupos de un movimiento contracultural y bohemio, al parecer originado en concentraciones subversivas de hace unas décadas en el monumento primitivo de Stonehenge y en Festivales musicales y suburbios de clase trabajadora, castigados en su momento por el empeño represivo y opresivo de la administración de Thatcher, y que ha devenido en alguna gente viviendo una vida nómada y aparte de las convenciones sociales o urbanas. Los individuos con los que Iain ha estrechado lazos y ha captado con su cámara construyen sus propios carruajes tirados por caballos y duermen y se reunen a la intemperie en un intento de seguir un modo de vida propio acorde a sus deseos. La serie ha sido publicada en libro por Prestel.
