He’s young. He’s talented. He’s hustling. And he literally rode his bike here to meet us. Australian photographer Luke Schuetrumpf started by filming surfing and then quickly abandoned that when he realized he could photograph beautiful girls instead. And the call has worked out.

“Where I grew up had a big influence on me: girls at the beach sun baking all day seemed like perfect blank canvas to practice my love for analog photography and fulfilled my obsession with art class while growing up.”

At only 18, Luke has a head start like a motherfucker in the game of photography, and we expect his word scramble of a last name to become very familiar, very soon. Enjoy this selection from his portfolio. You’ll be peeled down and ready for summer by the end, guaranteed.

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…

A few months ago Rhyan Santos sent over a batch of 268 images for his “Photo Credit” feature.

We all strive to shoot similar photos when we leave the comforts…

We kept coming back to his…
