    Judge: Cody Cobb

    Cody Cobb is an American photographer, hiker and explorer whose photography attempts to capture portraits of the Earth’s surface devoid of human interaction and interference.

    Searching for seemingly untouched nature, Cody Cobb is a nomadic photographer how’s focus has mostly been on the American West, working in both film and digital to find rare moments of quiet and stillness. Carefully composing with natural light, these Earthly formations appear to exist in an alternate and mysterious dimension.

    Cody Cobb has been published in numerous magazine from MADE Quarterly, Aint-Bad, California Sunday to Another Place and with years of experience capturing the earth’s most surreal and mystical landscapes we are absolutely delighted to have him as this month competition judge.
