Chris Schoonover is a photographer and art director from New Jersey. He became interested in photography via Instagram, got his first camera in 2013 and started taking it everywhere with him, with incredible results. For me, many of his pictures have that Las Vegas faded-beauty-hit-on-hard-times feel about them which I so love, and puts me in mind of Lana Del Rey and The Killers. Chris has described his work as “a photo journalistic style where the subject is interacting with their environment. My style is always changing, and growing with me. The common thread would be that each image seems to tell a story, and that story is really up to the viewers’ imagination”.

Enjoy, and don’t forget to check out the links to these artists if you’d like an extra portion of happy colour!

As well as attempting some Monty Roberts “Horse Whisperer“ techniques, I’m finding that it’s a brilliant mindfulness exercise. Continue reading Wild, wild horses
