In these photos, Meek mines this gap, creating space for scenes and meanings that might never have really been there. This is Meek's debut monograph, compiling a selection from his acclaimed series, created between 2002 and 2017.003cbr003e 003cb003eNick Meek003c/b003e(born 1969) has worked for the 003ci003eNew York Times003c/i003e, the 003ci003eNew Yorker003c/i003e, 003ci003eGQ003c/i003e, 003ci003eEsquire003c/i003eand others.
