Photography Pioneers: Kolb Brothers, Grand Canyon Photo Sessions Between Heaven and Hell

Back in threes: The Kolb brothers needed a third man who took care of the other boat while they were shooting. The first assistant was James Fagan who gave up after a few weeks because he feared the dangerous rapids. Only in Bright Angel Creek, not far from their photo studios, the French-Canadian Hubert Lauzon (right) joined the team. He accompanied the adventurers until Needle, California. | Grand Canyon National Park / Kolb Brothers
