"Moonshine" is a photo book by Dutch female photographer Bertian van Manen. After turning 30, van Manen started working as a fashion photographer, but later left the commercial world and turned to documentary production. Since many of her projects have taken many years to complete, there have not been many publications published in the past, but in recent years, London publisher MACK has released a series of photo books, and her work has been re-evaluated worldwide. This book is a photo book published by MACK in 2014. "Moonshine" is a homemade whiskey made illegally in Appalachia, Kentucky, USA. Van Manen has been capturing the lives of the so-called "moonshiners," who continue to make whiskey by inheriting the culture of the English and Irish who pioneered the area in the 18th century, sometimes living with the residents, for over 30 years. This documentary depicts the past and present of Appalachia through the contrast of monochrome and color, and depicts the changes in the era, culture, and lifestyle of the area and its people from an intimate perspective.
