Despite a lot of slightly cheesy sunset pics (hey who wouldn’t fall prey to a gorgeous sunset/sunrise like that?!) Latter’s photographs are certainly beautiful.However, I find is portraits to be far more interesting and original than his landscape/hiking photography.
What I love most about Latter’s work is that he discovers each frame as he is out hiking, attending a music festival/hippie fest or what have you. These are not created images, and thus feel more authentic. Somewhere in the woods of Canada, someone stuck a ton of buoys up in trees and the hiker looks just as surprised to see them as we do. I also appreciate when the images go beyond what feel like “documentary photographs” — down the hiking trail, the sunset/sunrise and have more potential meaning than landscape.
