PHOTOGRAPHER: PATRICK JAMES MICHEL

As part of its creative process, the photographer Patrick James Michel spends time with the local communities. The connections he builds drive the creation of his photographs.

This image was shot in Moab, Utah, in 1999, where he went back many times, spending time with ranchers. The artist who has traveled the world and met many communities and tribes leverages his mastery of photography techniques to capture the intangible energy of life.

This image is a celebration of the terrain and its hardness.  With its play on perspective and light, it creates a sense of perspective and the interconnection between mean and animas.
