About Vandivier Photographer

If " all the world's a stage for an actor", then all the world's a studio for Kevin Vandivier! Whether he's chasing Hurricane Gilbert down in Mexico that generated a coveted LIFE cover and full two-page foldout in the magazine... or perched at the edge of a rumbling volcano on Mt. Kilahaua, Hawaii...whether he's photographing with presidents and kings, or befriending a lonely homeless child on the streets of Romania, Kevin's keen eye for capturing life's unfolding drama with richness of color and soul-piercing human emotion, has distinguished his work among peers and public alike. Kevin's work has been used editorially in National Geographic World and Adventure, Popular Photography, Life, Newsweek, Time, Texas Monthly, and corporately for IBM, Exxon, Praxair, Citgo Oil and others. Last fall he published his fourth book, this one a photo essay on Texas high school football called "Smokin' Hot". His previous book subjects where "Texas", "Back Roads of the South" and "Washington D.C.". Most recently, Kevin retired from Texas Highways Magazine as the Photo Editor to return to his first love...Freelance Photojournalism.
