Entre Indígenas- Who is Ivan McClellan?

Ivan- First and foremost I’m a father and a husband. I am a photographer and designer, I approach both disciplines from a place of curiosity and interest in understanding people, and what makes them tick.

I love learning other people’s stories and documenting them with my camera.

E- How and when did the love for photography come about?

I- When I lived in Kansas City for a brief time after leaving New York, my neighbor may or may not have been in the CIA, and taught me a ton about photography. He had a bunch of old cameras and let me borrow one to take on a trip to Istanbul with my then girlfriend at the time.

While there, experiencing a new city and new culture with so much life and color, I became hooked.

E- Why a tribute to the American Cowboy?

I- What’s more American than a cowboy?

The cowboy is an architype of our time, and I think it’s important to remember that cowboys are from all races and walks of life. The cowboy is as diverse as the country we live in.
