“Donald Graham’s  work fits squarely in the history of American greats such as Walker Evans and Paul Strand but with a newly fashioned focus on the individual in a simplified setting, bringing about a modern perspective on the intrinsic qualities that link us all together.”

Photography Director
Vogue

Donald Graham is an internationally recognized fashion and portrait photographer whose work is in the permanent collection of the International Center of Photography and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He has worked for over 400 magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, Time and Sports Illustrated and shot numerous ad campaigns including Levi's, Visa, and American Express.

Russ Quackenbush creates visual images of humanity that reflect the qualities we cherish most in each other. In his portraiture, he gently documents the relics of a subject's life experiences as they unfold and present themselves in the emotions of their face, the language of their body, and the energy of their being.

Russ' photography gives us license to laugh, play, rejoice, or to mourn. It is through his images that we are led respectfully and thoughtfully into the life of another.

After starting his business in 1996, he has received a myriad of awards from the Photography and Advertising Annuals of Communication Arts, The Ad Club, and The One Show. Creativity Magazine, Archive, and Photo District News have all featured Russ and his work. In 2001, PDN distinguished Russ in its '30 Under 30', presenting him as a young talent worth keeping an eye on. He has certainly lived up to that prediction.
