Matthew Brookes’s style of photography leans toward the natural, raw emotion of his subjects. In his first book, Brookes has turned his lens toward the professional male ballet dancers of Paris. For a year in the life of these dancers, he took them out of their regular environment of rehearsals and performances and photographed them in a raw space, where they were allowed to explore the physicality of dance in its essential form. Brookes’s stunning series of portraits depicts the pure physicality of the male dancer.
