Mythical American West Snaps

The Last Best Hiding Place Photos Capture Life in the American West

— September 2, 2014 — World
Last Best Hiding Place is a fascinating photo series, captured by British photographer Tim Richmond, that captures the landscapes and people of the American West. The title of the series is Montanan slang for living under the radar, away from the attentions of people. The series explore places and their inhabitants and captures a romantic, enigmatic side of the great West.

Richmond's fascination with the West is a result of 1970s western films, which prompted him to travel to the region at the age of 17. Later on, he realized that the everyday reality of life in the West was far-removed from the way it was portrayed in the media and film.

For Last Best Hiding Place, Richmond largely relied on film and a large format camera to put together the series.

Trend Themes
1. Western Nostalgia - Businesses can leverage the popular romanticized perception of the Western landscape and culture to create products that evoke nostalgia and escape.
2. Analog Photography - Opportunities exist to provide analog film and camera products for professional and recreational use, as photographers have begun to revisit traditional techniques and equipment.
3. Off-the-grid Living - There is potential for the development of sustainable communities in rural areas, with amenities that cater to individuals seeking to live off-the-grid and embrace a slower pace of life.
Industry Implications
1. Tourism - Travel companies could create tailored trips that showcase the lesser-known, rural sites and activities of the American West.
2. Photography - Camera and film manufacturers can capitalize on the desire for analog photography, potentially offering new or revamped products to meet the demand.
3. Real Estate - Property developers can create and promote sustainable, off-the-grid living communities that cater to individuals who desire to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life.
