The American Cowboy

A five-year documentary project exploring the lives of working cowboys across the American West. From the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas to the vast ranches of Montana and Nevada, this ongoing series captures the authentic culture of a profession unchanged for over a century.

No models, no staging—just the real work, early mornings, and the kind of dedication that has made the cowboy America's greatest icon.
