Red Wing Work x F.l. Showalter
At the F.L. Showalter Company Picnic in Lynchburg, Virginia, I spent the day photographing the people and products that keep this town running. Red Wing Work was there, showcasing their newest lineup of work boots—the Apex with the BOA® Fit System, the Traction Tred, and the King Toe—each built for comfort and endurance on the job. As a Lynchburg brand photographer, I had the chance to capture these boots in their element. Red Wing has been crafting dependable footwear since 1905, and seeing that tradition continue today reminded me why I love documenting American craftsmanship through Makers Workshop. Seeing Red Wing and F.L. Showalter, one of the oldest continuously operated construction companies in the Commonwealth of Virginia, side by side felt like a perfect pairing—two brands built on reliability, skill, and pride in the work itself. It was a day rooted in community, heritage, and the enduring value of well-made things.
