When I imagine what Texas looks like (I’ve never been there), I pretty much imagine a Scott Slusher photograph. Warm tones, bright sunlight, rodeos, cowboys and skinny white girls. His work brings chic and rustic together in a very appealing way. He’s taken the cowboy image to a new level

For the last few years, Victoria Will has photographed celebrities at the Sundance Film Festival. She is expert at capturing each unique personality in their own light. Her simple lighting and background allow the subject to speak for itself. I can’t imagine how much fun she has photographing these people through out

I don’t skate. I’ve never snowboarded. It would be safe to say that about 80% of my friends throughout my life do one or the other. I have a strange fear of falling and I hate snow but I love the photography for these sports. I’ve always secretly wanted to be

This past weekend I had the chance to stop by Short Run Comix & Arts Festival here in Seattle. I had never been before. In fact, I had never even heard of it until I was invited to a ‘Short Run Beach Party’ on Facebook where two bands I love, The Shivas and

Laura Gehring’s work is everything fashion photography should be. It’s simple, powerful and elegant all at the same time. The honesty in here style lets the products speak for themselves, allowing the viewer to relate to the image in a way that a lot of fashion photography doesn’t. Laura’s contemporary style focuses
