Artist Feature | Sam Nute & Chelsea Ruggiero

Sam Nute & Chelsea Ruggiero are both talented and accomplished photographers individually, but as a creative couple combining unique visions, they have the ability to tell an embracive and powerful story. Their recent two-week road trip through Iceland, spent exploring and photographing isolated landscapes in a Citroën Berlingo camper van, yielded a comprehensive body of work which depicts the raw beauty of this wild island – a combined selection of which is the subject of this feature.

“We’re in love with Rebecca’s work. Her presets allow the images to speak for themselves, free of distractions while invoking a warm, comforting look and feel. They offer just the right punch of color. Rebecca’s products are flat-out beautiful – they’re works of art themselves.”
