The Vortex
There are some saloons in the West that retain a vice-like grip on their clientele. The customer’s loyalty is guaranteed in perpetuity no matter what may happen on any day within the bar. Indeed, the longer the list of unrefined behaviour becomes, the greater the notoriety of the bar. Every week new patrons – sensing fun – arrive like moths to a light. That’s how badass joints build their brand and their reputation.
For a bar to build that sort of image is impressive; it suggests continuity in staff, management and ownership as well as a commitment to deliver day in and day out. Very few bars in the world get here.
But No Name Saloon in Park City, Utah is one such saloon. The clientele are not there for a quiet time, they are there to test their livers in a setting that encourages the celebration of life. The Utah licensing laws make this bar hard to get into, but the energy once you get in, makes it even harder to leave. It is an unrelenting vortex of mischief.
No Name Saloon embraces Americana and any customer lending weight to that narrative is welcome, no matter the practicalities. So, on that basis, I thought bringing in a 2000 lb male bison on a snowy Tuesday morning could only add to the lore of the joint.
As I suspected, no one in the bar really cared – they just went on with normal business – they are not easily shocked in this part of the world. It was just another Tuesday. Who knows what happened in No Name on Wednesday.

25 Degrees Below (B&W)
Yellowstone National Park – 2026
“Very cold temperatures are required for a bison to morph into a primeval winter monster, but on the mornings when this transformation is acute, it is a visual treat. There is a sense of trespassing into an untamed land of ice and fire.
The effect is most pronounced in the geyser fields of Yellowstone National Park where the steam will freeze on whatever is nearby. As informed locals will testify, these days are fewer than they used to be, but on this morning, it was about 25 degrees below zero, which is enough for the magic to unfold.
Of course, finding a bison to work with in these conditions is not a given and we have often failed simply because the lead talent has been nowhere accessible. Geysers are dangerous and quite rightly there are many no-go areas in Yellowstone. To dissolve would be a harrowing death and it has, of course, happened to both bison and cavalier visitors to the National Park.
This portrait is sharp and looks at its best when it is at least life size. The abstract granularity of the bison’s iced fur elevates the photograph. I don’t think I have ever encountered as white a bison as this and I left the park with a sense of mission accomplished.”

Yellowstone National Park – 2026
“Bison have roamed in Yellowstone National Park since Prehistoric times; indeed they thrived in an Ice Age that claimed both the mammoth and the horse. That is why I am drawn to Yellowstone in the winter as it is their stoicism in extreme weather that defines them.
This photograph is certainly up there for me, so many variables came together at 25 degrees below zero in the Flood Geyser section of the Park. Finding a large frost caked bull bison early in the morning is always a good start, but then to find him close to geysers is a bonus.
These geysers normally omit a steady flow of gentle steam – a bit like an outdoor hot tub in a luxury ski resort – and when I gingerly approached the bull, that was my contextual background. Nothing too dramatic, but the steam evoked a sense of occasional geological activity and gave an emphatic nod to the location. There is a restlessness to the mood.
But then after three minutes lying on the frozen ground, the geyser in front of me erupted, spewing water and steam 100 meters into the air. To give this context, the spectacle doesn’t happen every day and, on this occasion, the early sun was offering a generous level of backlight and the bison and I had front row seats. It was my very own Field of Dreams, albeit a little troubling as I had no prior knowledge of the radius of the thermal water. I relied on the bison as he had better info and seemed quite calm.
I care so much about the background layer in my work; it is pivotal to the art of storytelling. Sometimes it is entirely in our control, but on this occasion, it was a pure stroke of luck. Arguably, I have never worked with a more spectacular backdrop in my career. It was akin to a Game of Thrones mood board.
We are left with a timeless freak of a photograph that pays homage to the raw wonders of this planet. It is primeval to its core and a celebration of one of the most untamed parts of the world. It was an honour to see it all unfold on my own at 8.15am that January morning. I am reminded again that “the early bird catches the worm”.

The Gunslinger (B&W)
The Gunslinger (B&W)
Durango, Colorado – 2026
“When Bryson De Chambeau won his second US Open at Pinehurst in 2024, he often found himself in some uncompromising terrain. He is a box office gunslinger and no round of golf is mundane. The strength of his short game that week offered a masterclass in escapology. It was pure theatre in the North Carolina sunshine.
That tournament was not far from my mind when I took Bryson high up into the mountains of Colorado in January. I wanted to film him as a Final Frontier outlaw using the Durango to Silverton steam train as a prop. I know the track well and have often worked at one bend of the track in the early morning when the sun pops its head over the mountain to the east and backlights the whole amphitheatre. It’s almost too good a location to be real, rather like a Red Dead Redemption mood board.
If any golfer were to find his ball here on the cliff face and then get down in two, it probably would be Bryson. I am not sure which one of us was more concerned about the precipitous drop from where we were standing, but he certainly is game for most things. The result is an extraordinary picture full of vitality and depth. His personality is well suited to this narrative; he is full of good energy and then there is material substance behind it.
Bryson was so excited to see the result of our adventure and that made me happy; it is rare to work with someone that is so emotionally invested in the final product.
I may be a European and have some team loyalties, but what a guy.”

Just an American Boy (Colour)
Just an American Boy (Colour)
Durango, Colorado – 2026
“Bryson DeChambeau is the embodiment of a proud American. He carries his patriotism with the same passion he holds his golf clubs. He is also as comfortable in front of the camera as he is on the greens of Augusta.
I vividly remember those moments on the 17th green at Bethpage on the Sunday of the Ryder Cup. Things were finally looking up for the American team and Bryson was the talisman. The New Yorkers embraced this Californian born Texan as if he was one of their own. He is box office.
Outside of golf, I found out that Bryson has a fluency in the language of business, trade and economics that would humble many a Wall Street trader.
When I work with anyone whose time is as short as Bryson’s, we prefer to shoot on home ground and play the familiarity card. It is never the time to roll the dice and go into unchartered ground. The Durango & Silverton Railroad in Colorado is well known to us; we know the angles and the light and that meant we had Bryson exactly where we wanted him for the first few moments when the sun popped over the hill. It’s no more than a 5-minute window, but we were prepared.
We have worked with all sorts of people over the years, but few have brought such positive energy as Bryson did. It does make a difference and for all his success and fame, he has a very gentle and unassuming way with people.
I am delighted that he loves this contextual portrait. He plays the role of the gunslinger just as you would expect him to.”

Off the Rails (Colour)
Off the Rails (Colour)
Durango, Colorado – 2026
“There are no more useful additives to a mountain story than fresh snow on the ground coupled with a decent but not overwhelming amount of falling snow. Neither comes on demand like room service and our unlucky moments make the lucky ones so much better. Gratitude for the good days is probably a subconscious product of all the underwhelming weather conditions we will face over the next year.
This was the first snowfall on the celebrated Durango & Silverton Railroad in Colorado for over three weeks. When we booked the steam train, the cowboy and the fashion model Kelsey Merritt, we had no idea what weather conditions would prevail that January morning and the results can be consigned to a case study on the random walk of luck.
Kelsey shines in her role; there had to be a palpable sense of sovereignty and a hint of nonchalance. She had never puffed on a cigar before, but she did so as if she grew up with a bunch of wise guys in the south side of Chicago.
I am drawn toward cinematic imagery and this is a story made for the silver screen. My preconception was that a wide composition would allow for a broader story to be told. It really is as simple as that. The focal plane does not exclude the train or the cowboy; it simply celebrates Kelsey.
Women have been underrepresented in Westerns to the point of parody and the series we have just embarked on addresses that imbalance. There were girls on the final frontier and many of them had a casual relationship with the law. That all adds to the rich tapestry of the Wild West. There is something most alluring about women who do not play by the rules.”
