“Splendor” by Photographer Courtney Allen

A new photobook deciphering the ambivalences of the American landscape and notions of the sublime by Brooklyn-based photographer Courtney Allen. Allen’s work tends to focus on our relationship with the natural world and our “hopeful expectations meeting the reality of our contributions.” Released by Los Angeles-based publisher Deadbeat Club, the project marks Allen’s first monograph and represents more than half a decade taking pictures across thousands of miles and a dozen states. “Splendor” speaks to the glory and grandeur of the American landscape while also attending to the inescapable built environment that confounds our expectations.
