This is a factory sealed copy of Always Loyal, his first photo book featuring amputee veterans from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, highlighting the bravery and recovery of wounded veterans.
Always Loyal is a powerful and breathtaking large-scale photography book by celebrated photographer Michael Stokes, dedicated entirely to U.S. Gulf War veterans, particularly those with combat injuries and lost limbs.
Inspired by his groundbreaking work in Bare Strength, Stokes sets out to redefine the visual narrative surrounding wounded veterans. Moving beyond traditional portrayals that often emphasize sorrow or loss, Always Loyal showcases these brave men and women as fitness models—strong, beautiful, and unapologetically whole. The resulting intimate and exclusive photographs are a visceral celebration of the human body and spirit, focusing on resilience, confidence, and raw, powerful beauty.
Stokes' work, initially funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, is not just artistic but also philanthropic, with a portion of the proceeds from the book sales being donated to the Semper Fi Fund, a charity supporting wounded warriors.
Always Loyal is a profound, moving, and gorgeously produced volume that honors the sacrifice and unwavering spirit of those who have fought for the United States of America.
