Scene Description
A classic backpacking destination in the Eastern Sierra, Thousand Island Lake sits at an elevation 9,833 feet. From an overview above the lake, short, golden, alpine grasses under small granite boulders make up the foreground of the composition. The center of the image is Thousand Island Lake, aptly named for it's many small granite islands peppered across the blue surface of the water. Beyond the lake banner peak rises 3k feet above the water.
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.
