TERRI LOEWENTHAL DOESN’T know what her photographs will look like when she sets out to take them. This is rare—especially these days, when we often know a picture's perfect Instagram filter and caption before it's even shot. It's even more unusual for a professional photographer, but to Loewenthal the unknown is part of the magic. Her images capture the dream-like qualities of the American West, a place where time and space are freed from constraints.
Loewenthal, an East Coast native and self-identified Californian living in Oakland, brought all of that magic to Psychscapes, a photo series that explores the romanticism of her adopted home state, overlapping sky, mountains, and rugged terrain to create single alluring images.
