2020 Featured Photographers

Evan Kelly

Evan Kelly was born in Los Angeles in 1978 but lived in the Europe until he was 11. Traveling back and forth to visit family well into adulthood, with jaunts into the other parts of the world has provided him with a rich tapestry of experience and deep understanding of people and place.

Evan received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Long Beach State University and began his professional career in interior/architectural photography in 2007, working throughout the United States and Europe. His interests in geometric abstraction lend perfectly to capturing the build environment. Inspired by artist such a Piet Mondrian, Richard Sera, and Frank Lloyd Wright, Evan uses the camera frame to both deconstruct and rebuild, to not only convey the essence of a space, but also the experience of the user.

Millet is the recipient of the illustrious “Stars of Design” Award for Photography, and is an APA Single Image award winner. CBS LA named Millet one of the “Best Photographers to Follow on Instagram.” In 2017, she launched the Instagram magazine, Krush iMag, a 10-page glimpse at decorating and style trends.

She is currently finishing up a book project with Rizzoli combining her two passions, design and travel. In addition, a sixth title is in the works to be announced later this year. Artist Francis Davis Millet, who perished on The Titantic, was her great-great uncle.
