The images of Cole Rise evoke a surreality or sense of dreaming. His images incorporate beautiful landscapes and his subjects, when present, are always floating above the ground. I am drawn to his work for those two reasons. His landscapes remind me of many photographs I have taken of the landscapes of my home, the Shenandoah. Also his floating subjects reminded me of the series of Images I did sophomore year in Digital 1-The Ecstasy Series. Especially the one of my sister in flight over a dead cornfield with a magnificent sunset.
"Cole Rise has spent the better half of his life taking pleasure behind the lens; stalking cows and lying in the grass to capture the landscape. His work has been featured in a notable amount of international creative magazines, books, billboards, websites, posters, and even a few CD covers for bands you can find in most music stores. He can't tell you how big the universe is, or why we're really here, but his work sometimes flirts with the idea of knowing."
