Idiosyncratic looks at the stereotype of the redblooded American manIn his second photobook American photographer Luke Smalley revisits the themes from his 2002 monograph Gymnasium. After receiving a degree in sports medicine from Pepperdine University and then working as both a model and personal trainer Smalley became fascinated with the archetype of the athletic American male and sought to explore its more playful side. His compositions were inspired by early 20thcentury fitness manuals and high school yearbooks.In Exercise at Home now reissued after being out of print since 2007 Smalley returns to his native Pennsylvania to consider the smalltown interiors and landscapes that are the settings for his portraits of young athletes.
