Michael Cukr works here at What Youth. He’s a horse. We call him that because of another Warren Smith quote moment, but beyond that he’s an incredible filmmaker and happens to be ridiculously good at photography. Which we benefit greatly from. In fact, he’s so good that he shot the following over the course of last year, which is a snapshot from his really good website: www.Michaelcukr.com

Ashton Herman gets shit done. Young Ashton came to us via a persistent badgering to be a WY intern. We kinda liked the kid so we brought him with us to Waco to shoot with Chippa, Ozzie, Nate, Mitch, Finn, and the Geiselmans. He came home with some solid eye candy from that trip but his…
Another day, another inbox full of tidbits from far and wide. Today, however, we stumbled across a truly creative lensman who dabbles in multiple mediums. Digi and film, stills and vids. We grabbed the man for a few of the basics and have attached some fine examples of his work below. He is also the…
Our state is on fire. Still. These fires all over California have affected all of us in some way. Someone we know. Our friends. Our horses. Our wildlife. Dane and Courtney. Even just seeing these fires from a distant is enough to intimidate you with their power. Two Ventura locals — Chet Williams and Trent Stevens…
A few months ago Rhyan Santos sent over a batch of 268 images for his “Photo Credit” feature. We flipped through the batch and fell in love with the raw, on-the-road-with-your-best-friends vibe he was able to capture in some of our favorite bands. We all strive to shoot similar photos when we leave the comforts…
Paul Coutherut started submitting photos to us one at a time a few months back. They would make there way through the office as a lot of our favorite submissions do, conversations ensue and we start to notice a recurring pattern from certain photographers. Paul was one of those. We kept coming back to his…
