Featured Artist: Shayn Estes

8/1/2013: Our walls have enjoyed the new artwork provided by local resident and photographer Shayn Estes.  His landscape photography is truly incredible!!

BIO:


Shayn Estes has been perusing landscape photography in any way that he could and as much as he could since he was 13.  It's his dream to be a great landscape photographer. Growing up Shayn idolized the great Galen Rowell, who was a first class photographer and mountaineer who made a name for himself in the Sierra Mountains of California and accomplishing amazing feats in the Himalayas, such as the first ascent of the Great Trango Towers in the Karakoram Range.  In addition to Rowell Shayn also has the highest admiration for David Breashears, who was a pioneer of Alaska mountaineering, and while doing incredible feats in the Alaskan range he did so with his camera and ended with the result of capturing some of the best landscape mountaineering photos ever taken, which is still true today.  With that said, Shayn's drive as a photographer was to photograph the dynamic landscape from treeline and above. It's from these places that Shayn feels the strongest and most powerful beauty of the mountains is observed, and this is why he has chosen to specialize from these incredible and remote areas.  Growing up Shayn has worked with two of Colorado's great photographers, Todd Pierce and John Fielder, for more than two years.  Shayn has helped John and Todd carry their camera gear around the mountains while having personal instruction from the masters themselves.  Shayn spent much of his time with Todd Pierce who was a student of Galen Rowell. Shayn and Todd would talk and practice the techniques of what it takes to make an outstanding photograph.  From what he has learned from his great mentors to his natural talent and drive, these elements are strongly reflected in Shayn's work.  His photography is truly genuine and one of a kind.  It's not uncommon for Shayn to spend 3 to 4 days a week for months to get the picture that he has envisioned.  The mountains will always be home for him, but he would like to travel the world and photograph a wider variety of subjects such as deserts, jungles, plains, the ocean, and of course the other great mountain ranges that occupy the rest of the world.  His dream is to not only do this but to do it with his love Saskia.  Visit Shayn’s website at:  http://mountainmajesty.org/index.html

XAVIER FANE: CURRENTLY FEATURED ARTIST

About Xavier: Local photographer Xavier Fane wasn’t a photographer when he made it to Crested Butte in the mid-eighties from his homeland in the Pyrenees Mountains of Spain. It wasn’t until 1990 that through his dedication to and love of mountain sports he landed his first job as a photojournalist and writer for Solo Bici, a mountain bike publication based in Spain. That opened the door to many travels around the globe in search of adventure, as well as more opportunities to write and shoot for other outdoor sport-oriented publications. As time went by, his passion for photography grew to become a full-time profession. He is currently on the staff of two Spanish outdoor magazines, as well as a regular contributor to other publications such as VeloNews, The Mountain Flyer, Mtn Bike Action, the Crested Butte Magazine, Outside Magazine and Men’s Journal.


“After a lifetime of running, biking and skiing swiftly in the mountains I have found in photography an endeavour in which to develop my more contemplative side. It has helped me immensely in fortifying my bond with nature and the universe. It’s also a natural extension of my mountaineering background. I like to go deep in the mountains; sleep on summit tops; get stinky, lonely, and sometimes scared and from this angle look at the world through my lenses.”
