Travel

When James Quantz Jr.’s rep asked four of her photographers to each shoot a series featuring a vintage Airstream trailer, it was strictly promotional. “She wanted to show we interpreted concepts,” he says, adding that he has never taken a trip in an RV. “I imagined the things you might do with an Airstream, like camp or go fishing. And then I thought, wouldn’t it be fun to see gorillas doing them?”

In the twenty years that commercial photographer Wilson Baker has fly-fished the flats of Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge near his home in Mt. Pleasant, SC, he’s gotten to know the people who make a living there: Fishermen, shrimpers, clammers, and oyster diggers, who either sell their wares independently or to wholesalers. “They’re always out in all kinds of weather,” he says. “I’ve talked to them and bought seafood from them.” And recently, he started photographing them.
