The West offers an evocative new perspective on those still living the way of the cowboy. Photographer Richard Phibbs' modern cowboys are sensitively rendered; looking into their eyes, you connect with decades of tradition, while still experiencing an electric shock of immediacy. From empty horizons and rolling blue skies to weathered barns and endless prairies, The West also provides a powerful and mesmerising landscape for these archetypal heroes to roam.
