Kevin Russ is a traveler, explorer and photographer who has racked up over 75,000 followers on his Instagram account by sharing his amazing iPhone photography of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. His account is like a travel diary of national parks, coastlines and wilderness regions. It’s definitely worth the follow.
Russ is based out of Portland, Oregon but according to his profile on Society6, a website that helps artists sell their wares, he lives in his car and is a permanent traveler.
In an interview with Bruce Livingstone, CEO of Stocksy, Russ shares some stories about what’s happened since he became Instagram-famous, why he decided to travel around the country in his car and what inspires his photography. The interview is more like a Skype session between friends complete with fun stories, the beeping of an iPhone and requests to come visit.
If you’re a photographer or you’re just fascinated by interesting people, check out the interview and some of his photos here.
Happy travels,
