An eschewer of the status quo, Izzy has recently decided to follow his own American dream and pursue his true passions: photography and exploring the great outdoors. The self-proclaimed "Bronx Nomad," Izzy is equally comfortable navigating the concrete jungle as he is the wilderness of the forest, while capturing the essence of it all through his lens. And he's perfectly happy picking up all the primitive backcountry skills he can along the way. IG @bronxnomad
