RYAN RUSSELL
TODAY'S GREATEST ROCK PHOTOGRAPHER


I read a bulletin posted by Mastodon on myspace today regarding photographer and Birmingham Alabama native Ryan Russell's work and think I may have found my new favorite contemporary rock photographer. Shooting entirely in non-digital formats (thank god), his images capture a crucial split second of life with resulting images that clearly articulate action, movement, and life. Even his portraits have striking emotive qualities. I strongly recommend bookmarking Ryan Russell's website and seeking out his work wherever possible.
