With her exquisite photographs in these pages Anouk showcases an incredible journey from an outsider’s perspective into the private world of the American cowboy: a story between an outsider and these people’s lives at their most real and never seen. Real people and real stories - an incredible and inspiring story of people coming together to share their lives and celebrate the nation’s cowboy/cowgirl culture, across small and historic ranches, college, junior, and small-town rodeos, and the incredibly diverse group of cowboys/cowgirls coming from different backgrounds, such as Native American, African American, and Vaqueros (in Spanish-speaking parts of the United States).
