J.C. Leacock

Since the beginning of his professional career in 1988, J. C. Leacock’s creative focus has shifted numerous times, from large format landscapes, to cowboys, to outdoor sports and lifestyles. However, the dominant theme that runs throughout is The American West. For that is where J.C.’s heart and passion lies, in the big skies, prairies, mountains and people of the West. His scenic images capture the magical light, grandeur and intimacy of the American landscape, while his photographic portrayal of western lifestyles, particularly cowboys, is both authentic and spirited.

J.C.’s work has received considerable professional recognition. He was featured as one of Nature’s Best Magazine’s Top Ten Nature Photographers of the Year in 1994. His western lifestyles portfolios have been showcased in both Cowboys & Indians and American Cowboy magazines.

Leacock is widely published nationally, and his images appear in such publications as Backpacker, National Geographic Adventure, Sunset, Outside, Men’s Journal, Cowboys & Indians, and American Cowboy. His work also is published in numerous calendars including Sierra Club, Audubon, Western Horseman and BrownTrout, and he has several exclusive cowboy and cowgirl calendar titles. J.C. has published two exquisitely beautiful books on Colorado: Colorado Closeup (Fulcrum Publishing, 1997) and Our Colorado (Voyageur Press, 2004). A third book, entitled South Dakota Simply Beautiful (Far Country Press, 2004), showcases J.C.’s diverse portfolio. Closer to home, J.C.’s photographs frequently appear in the Crested Butte Magazine and the Colorado State Vacation Guide. Fine art prints of his work are available by contacting the artist, or through the Lucille Lucas Gallery in Crested Butte, Colorado.
