Behind The Pages Of Golf Wang

After flipping through, it doesn’t seem like Golf Wang was a premeditated concept. Did you guys set out to do this book or did it just kind of come together naturally?

Julian Berman: Tyler had had the idea for a while. All I can recall is us having a business meeting at Swingers. This was a while ago. It might have actually been one of the first times I met Brick [Stonwell]. We were with this dude Nick from Adult Swim. After that meeting everything seemed like a go. Then I met with the publisher, Michael Schmelling. I dropped off my negatives and then all of a sudden, before I knew it there was this two- hundred-plus-page book full of all of our work.

Sagan Lockhart: I think Tyler had always wanted to do a book. Julian and Brick are actually real photographers, but then there’s the rest of us who all just kind of take photos for fun and shoot with whatever we have. It was cool because between everyone taking photos the book was pretty much already there. It was just a matter of putting it all together and getting it made.
