Born and raised in New York, photographer Brian Bowen Smith was discovered by Herb Ritts while working as a professional athlete in a print campaign; Ritts became a mentor and helped him develop his personal style. His photographs often have a classical quality, using light, composition, and gesture to create images that feel intimate and timeless. For this series, Smith turns his lens on people and traditions from coast to coast.
