Matthew Brookes: Expression of Freedom (Paperback)

Paperback. 'this is a follow-up to Les Danseurs, published in 2015 - and in Expression of Freedom he once again gets under the skin of the medium, celebrating its togetherness and inclusivity and showcasing the elegance, style and physicality of its practitioners. The coffee-table format and large-scale images highlight the quality of the photography, and the detailed and wonderfully observed images do not shy away from the energy, sensuality and eroticism at play.' - B&W Photography An homage to melliferous, unifying art of dance, as captured over the course of 10 years and across four continents.
