Allie Mount

Allie Mount is a contemporary photographer of the American West whose work I stumbled upon on Heading East sometime maybe last year. I don't really know much about her, but I follow her on flickr and I love her work. She shoots landscapes almost exclusively, so I thought it would be relevant to bring up considering our discussion today. Her work tends toward the pastoral and is, I think, a nice counterpoint to the industrialized landscapes we looked at in class. She shares a minimal and straightforward style and eye for the sublime with some of the photographers of the Dusseldorf school, but depicts natural forms rather than industrial ones.

The following are from Rocks in the Mojave Desert, 2009:









Some others from Flickr; I love the colors in these:
