QuoteJust Loomis (*1957 in Reno, Nevada) produced his first photographs in the seventies between the railroad tracks and casinos of his birthplace, Reno, images that tell of life in this town in the American West. A former assistant and friend of Helmut Newton’s, Loomis worked in the eighties as a fashion photographer for magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and The New York Times Magazine.
