Steven Heller offers high praise for VanderLans’ latest photography book Still Lifes, U.S.A in his interview with Rudy for The Daily Heller. “Rudy is a modern-day Walker Evans with a touch of vintage Edward Ruscha thrown in, yet totally his own.” In the interview VanderLans offers some fascinating insight into his approach to photography as a designer.
