As part of his Last Call Spotlight series, Carson Daly profiled iPhone photographer Kevin Russ. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Russ has spent the last several years traveling the world and documenting his explorations with his iPhone.
As he travels, Russ shoots his inspiring photos with his iPhone, uploading the shots to his Instagram and Tumblr accounts. Russ told Vice in a 2013 interview that he chose an iPhone over a DSLR because it was convenient to carry and can easily process photos on the go. It also connects him to his viewers in a way a DSLR can't.
"I think people can connect to the photos a lot more because people have an iPhone or a smartphone with a camera," he says. "If they were shot with a professional camera then I don't think they would've caught the same attention."
Russ supports himself solely though his iPhone photography. Besides his online publications, he also sends his shots along to services like Society6, which allows people to purchase his prints. You can learn more about his adventures and view a montage of his spectacular photos in Daly's profile on NBC's website.
