Photography by Brook James Photography
Living with something undoubtedly lends itself to gaining a more intimate perspective of it. Photographers try to capture that intimacy in only a few frames, perhaps in a close portrait or in a gloomy shot of a deeply grey street scene.
In Brook James’ case, it’s difficult to not see the pull that his Volkswagen T3 Camper has on him, and his shots.
