Avalanche by Andrew D. McClees (Deadbeat Club, Los Angeles, 2026) is the first trade-edition photobook from the Maine-based photographer and writer. This 64-page, Singer-sewn softcover is printed in silver ink on black paper. The book is set entirely within his father’s house, where McClees revisits a neglected, isolated childhood from his perspective as an adult living back in the family home. His tightly cropped black-and-white photographs turn ordinary rooms into a claustrophobic, nocturnal psychological landscape. Rather than dramatic moments, the work traces the slow build-up of family tension, neglect and mental illness, which often only become clear in hindsight. The silver-on-black printing makes the images seem to glow from within, heightening the book’s unsettling, dreamlike atmosphere. It is a haunting and intimate debut for collectors of contemporary documentary and fine art photography.
