5 Photos With Nate Lawrence
Every month we’re going to get a photographer to send us five photos from their last 30 days. To kick it off, we’re taking it from the top with our pal Nate Lawrence. Nate is obviously an elite photographer, easily one of the best there is or ever was, but the part of Nate’s work that’s truly wild and under-appreciated is how quietly he can go about his work, snapping iconic frozen moments in time without the slightest hint of pretension. He’s got ninja-like abilities to discreetly snap away without making a big scene. He’ll stop for a sec, pull out a little point and shoot and snap: Boom! A powerful moment is saved. Doesn't matter the camera. Doesn't matter what’s going on. He sees the world move in a truly unique way and his photos let us in on that. Nate spends most of the year living in Bali with his wife and kids but comes back to his hometown of Santa Cruz, CA for a few months a year to see his family and we had him take time out to shoot five just for us. Who’s next?
