In “Behind the Hedges,” Will Vogt continues his career-long investigation into the rarefied world of the American upper class. Following the success of his debut monograph “These Americans,” this new work observes a community that is adept at maintaining its traditions while weathering social change. Vogt, an insider to the world he documents, captures candid moments of leisure, sport, and domestic life in elite enclaves like Watch Hill and Palm Beach. His photographs are both intimate and distanced, offering a nuanced portrait of privilege that feels like a shared family secret. The book is published by Schilt Publishing and features high-quality printing that emphasizes the rich textures of this exclusive social landscape.
