About Open Range
Firstly, every cowboy can instantly call up with fondness that familiar sound of separated cows and calves calling to each other longingly, the smell of cattle carried on a dusty wind across sagebrush and juniper, and the feeling of a good horse underneath you as you work together to keep a herd moving. John Langmore began cowboying in 1975 at the age of twelve, after his father photographed the seminal book, The Cowboy. John spent twelve summers cowboying across the West before pursuing a professional career. In 2012, after thirty years away from his time in the saddle, John began a six-year project photographing fourteen of the nation’s largest and most famous ranches.
Of all those who have photographed the cowboy, John is one of the few who came to it first as a cowboy and only later as a photographer. John’s photographs and writings reflect this deep connection to the cowboy world and offer an unrivaled chance to witness a way of life that many dream of but few experience. John Langmore is an Austin, Texas, based photographer pursuing long-term personal projects. His first book, Open Range: America's Big-Outfit Cowboy (Twin Palms Publishers 2018), is the result of more than six years photographing on fourteen of the country's largest ranches. John's second book, Fault Lines: portraits of East Austin (Trinity University Press 2019), documents the rapidly disappearing communities of old East Austin. John is the co-director/producer of the award-winning feature length documentary film, Cowboys: a documentary portrait.
