I rarely blog or search out inspirational photographers simply because I know so little about the medium, but a friend brought the work of Cole Rise to my attention about two years ago which stopped me in my tracks. Cole has an amazing eye for color and aesthetic, but more importantly he has an eye for striking atmosphere. His work tends to have a simple subject (such as a few birds in the distance, or a single cow) but with that he conjures an amazingly ominous presence with desaturated color and an excellent use of natural matter, such as cloud or a single tree.
His work continues to amaze me. Check out his personal website at Colerise.com, and his Flickr stream.
