Dylan Maddux

it all began when Dylan Maddux, originally from Santa Monica, set out in 1998 to become a snowboard photographer. With a board in one hand and a purchased stolen camera from a friend in the other, Dylan made his way to the mountains of Lake Tahoe, CA. After deciding that the slopes were not the most comfortable spot – Dylan decided to pick up once again. For his next destination he made the pilgrimage to the city where many emerging and aspiring artists venture to – San Francisco. It was in the urban landscape of the Lower-Haight neighborhood where Dylan was able to capture most of his earlier work. In this neighborhood he was granted “access” to many shots photographers would normally not even think of taking. This exposed a lot of the surrounding environment - which was and has forced to remain hidden except for glimpses provided by the photographs by Dylan and his unique style of capturing it. Dylan around this time was also starting to gain spots on gallery walls next to some major names. With the desire to continue expanding his portfolio as well as his wallet – Dylan ventured into the world of fashion photography. Working with various independent and major brands Dylan has fulfilled his desire to work with beautiful women as he continues to expand his portfolio while moving further in the desired direction of his subject matter. No matter what field of photography - the art behind the work of Dylan lies in his romance with not only obtaining the desired image but his theory on how one is able to place themselves in the environment in which they are capturing.
