Kendall Nelson was raised in California, where she attended San
Francisco State University and the Brooks Institute of Photography. Nelson’s
photographs are exhibited in museums and art galleries nationwide and her images
have been featured by numerous publications, including National Geographic Online,
Camera Arts, Photo District News, and USA Today. Nelson’s
fascination with diversity and culture has led her to photograph a wide range of
subjects – from herdsmen in Mongolia to women’s health issues in Africa
with the United Nations. In addition to her career as a still photographer, she
worked as a segment producer and assistant director at Fox Television before moving
to Sun Valley, Idaho, where she began traveling the West photographing cowboys.
She published her first book Gathering Remnants – A Tribute to the Working
Cowboy in 2000. Following her Gathering Remnants book, Nelson
determined to tell the cowboys’ stories on film. She completed a documentary
film also titled Gathering Remnants in 2006.
