The talented Kelsey Foster grew up in Texas and studied at the University of North Texas, but her real education came from moving to New York and hanging out with other talented friends like the lovely Anna Wolf and Eric Ryan Anderson. She now splits her time between Brooklyn, NY and Dallas, TX and loves to find cheap tickets and travel the world.

Kelsey’s work inspires … the way she captures the natural light, the way her subjects eyes sparkle, the way everyone seems so comfortable with her. We fell in love with so many images from her fashion and portrait portfolios we had a hard time cutting it down. Enjoy a sampling of her work and be sure to follow the links below and visit her site and blog.

Fashion photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton braved three dark nights of -25C temperatures with his Red Epic camera to capture pro snowboarder William Hughes light up the slopes of south eastern France in an L.E.D. suit made by John Spatcher. One of the coolest things about this video is the fact that Hughes is the only light source painting the scene with his weaves and turns… beautiful.
