    Photo Country | Ep. 61: Snapthrash

    Guest: Vasuchandran (Snapthrash), Heavy Metal Musician, Independent Forex Trader, and Analog Photographer.

    In this episode, Rajeev sits down with Vasuchandran, widely known online as "Snapthrash."

From his childhood roots in Kerala to capturing street frames in Japan and Austria, Vasuchandran shares his artistic philosophy on why the slow, deliberate process of analog film brings him a unique sense of value that digital simply cannot replicate.

    Photo Country Returns: Sandra Cattaneo Adorno on Experimentation, Light, and Training the Eye

    Photo Country returns after host Rajeev’s creative rut with a comeback interview featuring Brazilian photographer and artist Sandra Cattaneo Adorno, discussing her latest exhibition, “Fragments of Light,” at the Venice Biennale. Adorno describes experimenting with metallic inks, shifting from celebratory gold on black paper to reflective silver on dark blue paper, and how the process abstracts images by stripping away detail so some photos translate better than others. She outlines the exhibition’s multiple viewing modes: a shimmering silver-screen video where images melt and re-form, 13 prints, a cloth print tied to curtain panels, and a floor photo mosaic with mirrored backing reflecting the room and canal. Adorno explains her intuitive, high-volume shooting guided by light and shadow, her rejection of AI, her emphasis on training the eye over buying new cameras, and her advice to stay curious, joyful, and influenced by museums, painters, and photography books; prints are available via Robert Mann Gallery in New York.

    Her next exhibition: Sandra Cattaneo Adorno: Fragments of Light, on view May 9 – November 22, 2026, at Palazzo Bembo during the 8th Edition of Personal Structures: Confluences, Venice.

  • Ivan McClellan's Journey Into Black Cowboy Culture - Ep.59

    Ivan McClellan's Journey Into Black Cowboy Culture - Ep.59
    2025/09/15
    Uncovering the Legacy of Black Cowboys: An Interview with Ivan McClellanIn the ever-evolving tapestry of American culture, there exist stories that have long been overshadowed or entirely neglected. Yet, photographer Ivan McClellan is capturing and celebrating these narratives through his lens, bringing them into the spotlight. One such story is that of the Black Cowboy—a vibrant and resilient aspect of American heritage that persists today.A Forgotten Chapter in HistoryIn Episode 59 of the Photo Country podcast, Rajeev sits down with Ivan McClellan, an influential photographer whose work has been pivotal in reigniting interest in the culture of Black Cowboys. These cowboys were instrumental during the early days of the Wild West—a fact often missing in mainstream narratives, where iconic figures like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood dominate the imagery.From Kansas to the broader world, Ivan’s journey is as fascinating as the culture he documents. Raised on a patch of land in the city, Ivan experienced both rural and urban lifestyles, unknowingly immersed in a culture that he would later come to champion. His firsthand interactions with the subculture of Black Cowboys began with a simple invitation to a rodeo in Oklahoma. There, Ivan’s perception shifted as he encountered a community rich in tradition and culture, one that blended elements of Black heritage with western life.Breaking Barriers through PhotographyIvan’s introduction to Black Cowboy culture was serendipitous. With a background riddled with diverse photographic experiences—from weddings to commercial shoots—Ivan’s break into this niche was both unexpected and revelatory. He stopped accepting payment for photography, freeing himself to explore and develop his authentic style—characterized by capturing candid, unstaged moments.His project, Eight Seconds, emerged from a desire to document something meaningful, masterfully showcasing the raw, potent beauty of rodeo events. The name signifies the eight-second ride on a bull or bronco necessary to qualify for a score—symbolizing the intense, unpredictable nature of the rodeo.Joy as an Act of RebellionIvan’s work does more than document; it celebrates. He describes the rodeo as a resistance, a joyful rebellion against the oppressive climates of our times. Joy, he argues, is a powerful act of defiance. Gathering at these rodeos, communities find collective excitement and exuberance, challenging those who seek to suppress.A Legacy Carried ForwardIvan’s commitment to documenting this lively subculture extends beyond photography. With the advent of his own series of rodeo events in Portland and Philadelphia, Ivan amplifies the enthusiastic spirit of these gatherings, fostering community and cultural pride—especially among the youth, who he sees as pivotal in carrying forward this legacy.A Glimpse into AuthenticityOne might wonder what Ivan's photographic style uniquely accomplishes. The answer lies in authenticity. His images do not simply capture cowboys in action; they weave a narrative of personal triumph, familial bonds, and cultural heritage. Images of cowboys adjusting their gear, sharing laughs, or preparing for a race offer universal relatability, reaching beyond rodeo enthusiasts to touch anyone who cherishes genuine human connection.ConclusionFor those interested in exploring more of Ivan McClellan's work or supporting the Eight Seconds project, his Instagram account, @eightsecs, offers a gateway into this evocative world. Ivan’s efforts are more than photography—they are a reclamation and celebration of stories that enrich our understanding of American culture.Through his work, Ivan reminds us all that heritage is not just preserved but is actively lived, celebrated, and expanded upon by each new generation. As his lens reveals the captivating reality of Black Cowboys, it also issues a call to recognize and support the diverse narratives that construct our collective history.As always, thanks Apopo Studios for sponsoring this podcast.
