Cole Rise


Through StumbleUpon, I recently found a photographer named Cole Rise. His "about" page actually says almost nothing about him, other than that he has spent the better half of life behind the lens lying in the grass and stalking cows in order to capture landscapes. His work has also been featured in magazines, books, on billboards, websites, posters and CD covers. His work fascinated me. It is different than most landscape photography, and a lot of his landscapes include people, who's feet never seem to be touching the ground. All of the photos have an old look to them, and they all seem a little dirty, like there was something on the lens. He takes the pictures in a way that this adds to the effect and makes it better rather than bad.  I am sure that there is at least a little photoshop involved in all of these pictures, but somehow they still manage to look genuine.
