"Open Country draws on inspirations ranging from painters such as Maynard Dixon to writers like Louis L’Amour, and it also reminds me of the series Yellowstone. This is the West: cattle country along Highway 395, where the herd moves slowly across the grassland and the layered hills and mountains fade into haze behind them. Working with a telephoto lens, I steadied the camera on the hood of my car and used f/22 to bring more of the scene into focus." ~ Gavin McChesney

Gavin McChesney is drawn to the severity of line, contrast, and structure. Photojournalism taught him to look for relationships and moments, rather than simply beautiful subjects. That instinct still shapes the way he photographs the natural world. 

Note, framing options coming soon! Pending availability, there may be a 1-2 week delay to complete custom framing or custom printing of unframed photographs.
