Mike Brodie

Mike Brodie is an American photographer known for his raw, intimate documentary images of train-hopping youth and transient subcultures across the United States, captured between 2004 and 2006. Self-taught and having lived the nomadic lifestyle he documented, Brodie shot primarily on film, producing gritty yet lyrical images that blur the line between photojournalism and fine art. His work, compiled in the monograph 'A Period of Juvenile Prosperity,' has been widely exhibited and collected for its authentic portrayal of American youth on the margins.
