For this project, Brookes followed a group of young surfers from Venice Beach on their adventures up and down the coast. The result is a story of van culture along the California coast--a story of youth choosing to follow their dreams, living out of vans, existing for surf and travel and freedom, and always chasing the best waves. The documentary-style photographs are typical of Brookes' work, with ethereal shots punctuating more naturalistic photos. The book includes interviews with the surfers done by Zack Raffin from the major surf magazine \u003ci\u003eStab Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e. Raffin is a young surfer himself and grew up surrounded by van culture, positioning him as an insider voice as much as a journalist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Brookes\u003c\/b\u003e is a photographer known for his editorial projects and his natural and simplistic style. Born in England and raised in South Africa, Brookes' photographs have been featured in major magazines such as \u003ci\u003eGQ Style\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eL'Uomo Vogue\u003c\/i\u003e. In addition to his work with models and celebrities, Brookes is fascinated by the dynamism of the human form in motion and enjoys photographing athletes and dancers. In 2015 Brookes published his first monograph with Damiani, \u003ci\u003eLes Danseurs\u003c\/i\u003e, a portrait of the ballet dancers of the Paris Opera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 11.8 x 9.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 28, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42697658925119,"sku":"9788862087643","price":58.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/2834ed52dbbf56fc0b1edc99ade5f6a8.webp?v=1765009509","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/matthew-brookes-into-the-wild-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
