Scene Description
Sandstone buttes cover a red-sand desert in this overview composition of Monument Valley. The light is dappled from the shifting clouds. The sun is low in the sky creating long shadows along the valley floor on the right sides of the buttes. There is patchy green vegetation growing on the desert floor creating a pleasant color contrast with the shades of red and tan of the sandstone. Beyond the buttes are puffy clouds and a soft blue sky.
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.
