"The Gathering of the Juggalos" is a collection of works by American photographer Daniel Cronin. Known for his style that blends portraiture and reportage, Cronin has continuously documented festivals and people deeply involved in counterculture across the United States. His approach, combining respect and intimacy with his subjects, has earned him acclaim for an empathetic gaze that transcends the role of documentarian. This book is comprised of photographs of participants at the Gathering of the Juggalos, an annual music festival where fans of the rap group "Insane Clown Posse" gather. From men and women in clown makeup, to relaxing in tents and by the water, to impromptu rituals and moments of embrace, the unconventional, celebratory space is captured with surprise, humor, and a deep sense of solidarity. Cronin's lens never smiles, but instead embraces each individual, powerfully affirming his subjects' proud presence. This is a rare documentary that takes a direct look at a culture that is often considered marginalized.
