Photographer Kevin McDermott's CASE STUDY series is new ongoing series of coffee-table books focusing on an individual model. For the first volume of this new series, McDermott turns to one of his favorites subjects, model and ultra-runner Ryan Young. CASE STUDY | RYAN YOUNG is a 56 page hard-cover book of nudes bound in linen featuring a tipped-in photograph on the cover.

This inaugural edition of the CASE STUDY series was shot at several beautiful locations throughout Southern California, (Joshua Tree, The Salton Sea, Sequoia National Park, Malibu, and Palm Springs.) The images of Ryan are both monumental and intimate in scale and approach. All of the images are full nudes and are completely uncensored. 

A note from Ryan: "Some projects are just natural alignments. CASE STUDY | RYAN YOUNG with Kevin McDermott is one of those! Joining forces with my good friend and one of my favorite photographers, Kevin and I set out on a journey to capture the natural wonders of Southern California. Born and raised outside Chicago, but calling California home for over twenty years, this book is an exploration of some of the locations I love most in the region. These are the places I often escape to, find mystery in and marvel at earth’s grand cathedrals. A fan of Kevin’s past works featuring both landscapes and body, it’s consistently an honor and a privilege to step in front of the camera, trusting the man behind the lenses to capture me in my entirety. We invite you to join us in CASE STUDY | RYAN YOUNG and discover the beauty of all things Southern California." 

This hardcover book is beautifully printed in Italy with color and rich black and white tritone images on premium paper.
