The Lonely Flower, with Kollene Snow | Salt Lake Conceptual Portrait Photographer

By Wendy Hurst

Have you ever been stuck trying think of an idea, and then all of a sudden a tiny, fragile glimpse of something appears? In those moments I just want to grab it and hold on so it can't get away, but if you don't let it breathe, that poor little idea gets squished.

FanX 2022 | Utah Portrait Photographer Studio On Location

By Wendy Hurst Portrait

Salt Lake City, Utah | FanX is a space of raw reality. Cosplayers emerge from their everyday self to an elevated version of self--or, someone/something else entirely. Artists become shapeshifters, inhabiting a character through what they're wearing, or what they hold, or what they say. Craftspeople from all walks of life swarm the halls with colorful excitement. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you came from, or where you're going. FanX is for everyone, like a moving, shifting, swirling, ever-changing exhibit of living art. I just bring my camera. :) All the portraits I captured during the event can be found at my website, wendyhurstportrait.com .
