I learned of Cole Rise via his Instagram (@colerise – some great stuff in there too) and was immediately stricken with the beauty or his photography work. But when I saw his full portfolio I was completely blown away. I’d compare his style to maybe a little more processed version of Tim Navis, skewed more towards landscapes. Really beautiful stuff.

wow! i’m blown away by the 5th image. this guy’s good…
Yeah this guy is amazing. I came across his work a while back on flickr and instantly added him as a contact. He always captures such great atmosphere.
I’m really loving the first one, the patterns the birds make. Wow.
I’ve been looking through his flickr as well, so much amazing stuff. Inspiring.
Awesome. Anyone able to find that first picture on Flickr? I can’t seem to.
How do you take pictures like this? Especially number two there… Just… Breathtakingly amazing!
Man his tones are perfect. I’d love to see some of his .psd’s to lurk the hell out of whatever he’s doing to his layers
These pics are communicating an emotion into me that I’ll be smart to cherish 🙂
I think webstagram is cool, but for my show BackStory on CNN International @backstory on Instagr.am – I just have a flickr account linked up to my app and I easily share each photo there and it’s a much nicer looking layout and I can send people my flicker personalized link to see all of our photos on the web. It’s much nicer looking.
Went to school with him. He’s also an incredibly intelligent and nice guy!
This is so great. love it.
Absolutely gorgeous! Waking up, with coffee in hand, I got lost staring into these. Hey, I wanted to share some photos from depression-era America with the cool peeps who participate on this site. I found these images stunning simply because they are all in color…at this time most people didn’t likely have the money to spare for taking color photo, especially in these rural towns. To think I grew up imagining the 1940s in black and white…

Wow.

These are breath-taking!

Incredible photos. Stylistically there are a lot of similarities between these and Tim Navis, but there is something visceral about Cole’s pics that’s hard to put your finger on…amazing.
