Scene Description
Zabriskie point in Death Valley, California. Image shot on 35mm film. Shaped by the powerful force of water, these yellow and brown badlands give the foreground many layers and textures with dry washes winding through the sand. On the far side of the badlands a sharp point rises up, providing visual interest to the mid-ground of the composition. The background of the image consists of the panamint mountains coming up from the valley floor. Behind and above the mountains is a rich blue sky and puffy white clouds.
About the artist
Kevin Russ was born and raised along California’s Central Coast. He later moved north to Oregon, where he briefly attended college before moving into his 2003 Chevy Blazer to pursue landscape photography full time.
In 2013, early in his landscape work, his photographs drew national attention when The Atlantic described him as “iPhone’s Ansel Adams” a distinction that quickly set his work apart in the emerging world of mobile photography. In the years that followed, Russ expanded into film photography while taking on assignments with major brands including Nat Geo Wild, Icelandair, Nestlé Waters, and Timberland.
Today, his work has settled into a quieter, more reflective rhythm. He spends much of his time in the deserts and mountains of the American West, photographing at a slower pace, in pursuit of capturing the timelessness of the American West.
