Work[edit]
Wild Horses of Cumberland Island (2017) is about a band of feral horses living on Cumberland Island, off Georgia.[1] The rest of Krantz's work has been about the Western United States and its cowboys, rodeo and ranching communities.[2] American Cowboys (2021) contains a "photographic study of this often overlooked, misunderstood world, from the families immersed in the culture to the hard work and labor of ranching and rodeos."[6]
