Photographer Kevin McDermott's CASE STUDY series is new ongoing series of coffee-table books focusing on an individual model. The second volume of this new series focuses on the ruggedly handsome Matthew Dubbe. CASE STUDY | MATTHEW DUBBE is a 56 page hard-cover book of nudes bound in linen featuring a tipped-in photograph on the cover. This edition of the CASE STUDY series captures the raw rugged beauty and sense of serenity of the California desert including Joshua Tree and Wonder Valley in 29 Palms. We also travel to the rustic mountain wilderness of Idyllwild, California with its blooming wildflowers and towering trees along the summit of the San Jacinto Mountains. These photographs bring to mind the retro sensibilities of 1970s Colt Studios and the various Californian male photography guild images of the '50s and '60s. The images are nudes and are completely uncensored. A note from Matthew: " When Kevin and I first started working together, I immediately felt a level of comfort and mutual understanding between the two of us. As we began talking about creating this project, I was certain it would be a perfect match. I think that ease surely comes across in the images we've made. My friends love to tease me about being born in the wrong era. I love all things 60s and 70s. I believe this book is an ideal blend of the beautiful scenery of California with a touch of my own retro aesthetic. It felt so good collaborating with Kevin to create images that are truly a reflection of who I am. I really hope you enjoy this book!" This hardcover book is beautifully printed in Italy with color and rich black and white tritone images on premium paper.
