Scene Description
The photographer has a vantage point above the ocean by about 30 feet and is looking south on the Washington coastline. The left side of the photograph contains a thick evergreen forest of Douglas Fir, Cedar, and Hemlock trees. In sizes great and small are driftwood, following the tree-line south, creating a border between the edge of the forest and the sandy beach. Together, the forest, driftwood, and shoreline gently curve from the left of the frame to the right then back again to the left creating a small point in the sand. At the tip of this point stand two, tall rocky sea stacks. Rising out of the Pacific at great heights, they reach into the skyline. Above the forest and sea stacks is a mostly cloudy sky with small, pale-blue patches visible. The photograph was made on 35mm film.
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.
