The medium has a long, complicated history of documenting the underprivileged, but rarely, if ever, do we see the privileged in the same unvarnished light. For fifty years, while pursuing careers in oil and gas, hunting and ranching, Will Vogt has been recording his own circle.

His frames of family and friends — mainly made at Watch Hill in Rhode Island, at his ranch in south Texas, and at the places he frequents such as hunting estates in the United Kingdom — offer a raw glimpse into an American upper class that is inaccessible to most and remarkably unchanged by contemporary society. It is at once an intimate depiction of one man's life and a revealing portrait of the elite from 1969 to 1996.
