Art Institute of Seattle alum Kristen Truax (AKA Kristen Blush), has established her self as a go-to in the city’s photography scene.
Currently contributing as photographer at The Stranger and AEG Productions, Blush has also contributed work to national magazines including GQ, and Alternative Press, as well as regional titles Seattle Metropolitan and Sound. Her work has also been featured on the websites for Filter, Gibson Guitar and KEXP and has adorned the walls of the Gibson Guitar Showroom in Seattle, McLeod Residence, and live music venue Neumos, where she held reign as house photographer for more than a year.
Her unique approach to photography prompted The Stranger’s Megan Seling to comment in an interview with Blush, “All your photos not only make people look sexy, but the subjects also look happy and confident-It’s unreal” - which has become Blush’s trademark.
Blush has done ad work for Toyota, T-Mobile, Microsoft, Mackie, Wexley School for Girls, 42 Below Vodka and Dewers Whiskey. She served as staff photographer at the Experience Music Project and Sci-Fi Museum for two years, where she shot speakers Annie Leibovitz, Lou Reed and Steven Spielberg, as well as musicians George Clinton, The Donnas and Television. Blush also volunteered her time and talent to a 2008 project benefiting Seattle charity Home Alive that featured KEXP’s John Richards, the Presidents of the United States of America and El Vez.
