Ryan Russell is a music & travel photographer renowned for his work with Paramore & Death Cab for Cutie, among others, and his gritty, Southern Gothic depiction of the south.
Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, Russell moved from his southern home of 32 years to the pacific northwest town of Bellingham, Washington to explore a new love of nature photography. The eight day cross country journey is captured in his photo book, “Continental Obscura: From Birmingham to Bellingham.” In addition to photography, Russell also has a website devoted to bands performing acoustically called Nervous Energies and is an avid board/video gamer.
