This collector’s edition of Matthew Brookes’ acclaimed Les Danseurs is limited to 25 copies and includes the book as well as a signed and numbered black-and-white print. Brookes’ style of photography emphasizes the natural raw emotion of his subjects. In his first book, Brookes turns his lens toward the professional male ballet dancers of Paris. For one year in the life of these dancers, he took them out of their regular environment of rehearsals and performances and photographed them in a neutral space, where they were allowed to explore the physicality of dance in its essential form. Brookes’ stunning series of portraits depicts the pure physicality of the male dancer.
