Van Phetsomphou: Photographer with a mission

Van Phetsomphou, also known as Bronco Loco, is a landscape/wedding photographer from Las Vegas, NV. His main passion lies in landscape photography though. Currently, Van is in the infant stages of starting a non-profit organization that involves documenting and maintaining a visual history of the Mojave National Preserve in California, which he calls “White Trash Ferrari “. White Trash Ferrari mainly consists of a series of photos he is taking of man-made structures and buildings located in or near the Preserve.

Having traveled to California’s Route 66, Death Valley, the Mojave National Preserve, and Utah’s historic mining towns, Van has a strong passion for creating compelling landscape photography that captures the spirit of the U.S. southwest’s amazing history.
