Portraits from the Woods is a pictorial record in multiple takes of a singular journey through Norman Reedus' experience of darkness and light. It will become clear early in this wholly fresh body of work that these photographic images are as likely to propose questions as provide answers. This book is a collection of raw, grainy, offkey photos that Norman has regurgitated for our bemusement and twisted pleasure.Norman Reedus is a master of the unlikely the eccentric, the uncooked. He loves to indulge his eye in all manner of improbable and fractured camera moments. Portraits from the Woods takes the viewer on some very strange trips into a subterranean world where there is no judgment. What you get is raw, unplacated Norman behind his natural and delightful charm. This book can't help to push your envelope.
