When the photographer Jim Mangan recently took a road trip through Utah, we asked him to document the journey on our Instagram account. In his new series, “Blast,” published by Dashwood Books, Mangan collaborated with the professional rally-car driver Ken Block to offer a new perspective on the arid, mountainous landscape of his home state. Using aerial photography, Mangan captured the graceful dust clouds and swirling car tracks produced as Block practiced a style of racing known at Gymkhana. His spins and figure eights mimic the naturally occurring forms of the Utah desert.
