The fashion photography of Traver Rains
Traver Rains is a man of many talents. Among them is a niche of fashion photography that is as rustic in look as it is modern.
Raised as a child on a horse ranch in Montana and spending his twenties in New York City’s fashion world as co-creator of Heatherette clearly inspired Rains’s ability to seamlessly mix two very different aesthetics together and invent a dynamic, highly editorial and unique brand of fashion photography.

James Mollison’s Where Children Sleep series
James Mollison is Kenyan born artist who grew up in England. His new work, entitled Where Children Sleep, is an introspective look at the lives and culture of children from around the world as told through a series of portraits of each child and a photograph of their bedroom. The artist says: ‘I found myself thinking about my bedroom, how significant it was during my childhood, and how it reflected what I had and who I was’. Read more
Lucia Vergara’s Cosmic Ice-Cream jewelry series
Lucia Vergara’s jewelry is super cool but I absolutely flipped for her Cosmic Ice-Creams series. These gorgeous triangular necklaces are bold in shape yet delicate in workmanship and color. The solid pastel pieces are accented with a beautiful array of textures, iridescent colors and glitter. They are suspended by a refined and vintage looking chain that adds to their delicious beauty.
The incredible wood masks of A.J. Fosik
At first glance, A.J. Fosik’s animal head sculptures look as if they were made of simple paper, when in actuality each is made of wood, carved and colored in vibrant shades of green, blue, red and pinks. Each has its own energy, power and intricacies that envelope and hypnotize the viewer. Read more

Robyn- given Traver’s fashion background (as mentioned in the article he was a co-founder of Heatherette), he styled (as well as made all the wardrobe for) all the photos above by himself.
And believe it or not, he was the sole location scout too, as the photos were taken on his family’s homestead in Montana.
Hope that clears up your initial assumptions…

Interestingly – you have suggested that it is the photographer alone who has created these incredible images,
I would like to ask; Who was the location scout and Who was the stylist as these are the 2 important elements of imformation you have left out – sure the photographer takes the image, but the sytlist would be the person who creates the elements inside the frame including the way the elements are proposed to the photographer and the location scout would have been the one to have found these fantastic run down houses and places and introduced the photographer to them initially.
