Highway Light, Parking Lots, the Whole Country

Dan Martensen shoots America the way you imagine it looks from a car window at dusk—wide, slightly lonely, full of details that mean nothing individually and everything together. His personal work has always sat at an angle to his fashion portfolio, which is technically precise and commercially sharp. The "America" series is the other thing: road-trip light, vernacular architecture, faces that aren’t being directed. The country as texture rather than subject.
