Walker Pickering is an artist and photographer based in Austin, Texas. His work is primarily documentary in nature, and he uses photography as a means to get access to people and places that might normally be unavailable. Walker (b. 1980) was raised in the oil fields of West Texas and the swamps of far East Texas. His summers were spent at family reunions in the Deep South, and he once traveled with his brother to Nigeria to visit their father for several weeks, setting him on a lifelong pursuit of adventure and exploration.

From Dorothea Lange in the Great-Depression 1930s, and Robert Frank in the Cold-War 1950s, to Stephen Shore in the Vietnam-era 1970s, Walker Pickering continues the grand tradition of socially engaged photographic road trips across the United States. With his medium-format film camera, he discovers and documents a panoply of American places in square-format photographs that remind us of who we are as individuals and members of a society. Urban parking lots, rural roads, monuments, motel rooms, and roadside attractions receive Pickering’s equal, loving attention. Often infused with golden sunlight and blending beauty with apparent ugliness, his landscapes are both physical and psychic spaces.
