Description

The second monograph by New York- and Paris-based photographer Matthew Brookes, Into the Wild, is a vibrant celebration of surf life. 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 conducted by Zack Raffin from the major surf magazine Stab Magazine. Raffin is a young surfer himself and grew up surrounded by van culture, positioning him as an insider voice as much as a journalist.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Matthew Brookes: Into the Wild captures the spirit of youth chasing dreams and freedom through a life centred on surfing, travel, and the pursuit of waves, as noted by Elena Martinique of Widewalls. According to Sarah Moroz in i-D, the book prioritises the tranquil moments and the authentic camaraderie found within the surfing lifestyle, rather than focusing solely on adrenaline-charged experiences.
