Photographing Mud Spring Break – like Spring Break, only 100x more chaotic:

has captured the hedonistic revelry of Spring Break three times. First he shot young revellers at the Grand Oasis Hotel in Cancun in 2017. Then, the following year, he photographed partygoers at Miami’s South Beach. Both were pretty standard affairs. But last year’s Spring Break -- Will’s third sojourn -- was a little different. “A friend sent me a YouTube video of this mud version of Spring Break,” he says. “I had to go.

Mud Spring Break, as you can probably infer from the name alone, proved a different beast. While a common thread of bikini clad women and heavy drinking remained , mammoth sized trucks and big groups of families were also present at the old potato farm in Charlotte County where Redneck Mud Park Spring Break takes place. “The first time I came here my cellphone was stolen and the second time my truck was burnt to the ground,” one attendee told Will, enthusiastically.

Describing his own experience as, for the most part, pretty pleasant -- albeit existing within scenes he calls near apocalyptic -- Will’s photographs offer an impartial and oddly serene glimpse at the otherwise chaotic affair.It’s visually fascinating. There are photo opportunities everywhere you look, it’s like watching theatre going on around you. Everyone is there to escape and feel free. It’s interesting to me, being British, as we don’t have anything like Spring Break.
