#WCW: Photographer Deleigh Hermes

Woman crushes, we all have them. To inspire you, we use our Wednesdays to interview women we admire and share their amazing stories with you. This week we're crushing on Deleigh Hermes, a landscape photographer & photojournalist from Austin, Texas. 

Last year #girlcrew's Steffie met Deleigh while waiting in line at the Create & Cultivate pop-up at SXSW. They chatted about their work and bonded over documenting real life stories. This year, we all went to SXSW together and the four of us met up with Deleigh to learn even more about her amazing work as photographer, and might we add, adventurer. There's few babes more badass than Deleigh, who gave up a full time job to become a freelancer and started traveling & shooting all around the country. She told us all about that big decision, how she got into photography and some of her favorite projects. Check out the complete interview below.

For more of Deleigh's work, check our her website & follow her on Instagram. She's planning on doing photo excursions starting this Spring, where she'll take you backpacking in the back country, but will also teach photography on location, so keep an eye out for that. We can't wait to see where the next adventure will take Deleigh!
