Parked on the ice and illuminated by a blend of drone-mounted lights and a Profoto studio strobe, this Porsche 911 Turbo S glows beneath the towering presence of a decommissioned Douglas DC-3. Once a workhorse of Ozark Air, the historic aircraft now rests at Palmer Airport, creating a striking contrast between past and present, aviation and automotive performance.

Evan Lewis is a professional photographer currently residing in Sarasota, Florida. Educated at the Ringling College of Art & Design, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in photography in 2020.

Evan’s work is deeply influenced by his fascination with the machine world. His photographs often explore the interplay between transportation, mechanical design, and natural beauty. Some of Evan’s most notable photographic techniques include the use of long exposures, artificial lighting, and multi-layer post-processing methods that harmonize the subject with its environment.

Among the many places Evan travels to for his images, Alaska holds the most significance. Recently, he completed a body of work titled Ascending Alaska, which compiles four years and seven visits to the magnificent state into one comprehensive series. The imagery in this collection captures the emotional connection between humanity and the environment through unique methods of transport such as small airplanes and powerful automobiles.
