Unraveled Artist Feature | September 23rd, 2026
Holy shit, did you guys make our job hard this week.
We had SO MANY submissions, and we very easily could have featured every single image. Truly. Scrolling through them felt like one giant, beautiful showcase of art, and narrowing it down felt nearly impossible.
When we get a week like this with so many incredible submissions, we start looking even closer for the things that feel a little different. An unexpected angle. A pose we haven't seen a hundred times before. An editing choice that makes us look twice. Interesting light. A strange crop. A perspective we wouldn't have thought of. Those little moments where we can see an artist experimenting, taking a chance, or trying something outside of what they normally create.
That just makes choosing even harder.
So if you submitted an image this week, we see you...
Literally every submission was worthy of being featured. Every single one added something beautiful to this week's collection, and we hope you'll keep showing us what you're making, keep experimenting, keep getting weird, and keep trying the things you're not quite sure will work.
Here are just a few of the incredible artists of Unraveled we're celebrating this week.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST UNRAVELED ARTIST OF THE YEAR…
Our NEWEST 2026 Artist of the Year is Jessie Carlton
How do we even begin with THE BADASS herself, Jessie Carlton.
There is something so unmistakably Jessie about this image. The muted landscape, that incredible red hair, the oversized denim, the cigarette, the expression it all feels effortless and a little rebellious without trying too hard to be rebellious. It feels staged from a movie and real life all at the same time. And putting it into words make us realized that maybe is Jessie’s specialty. Her magic.
Jessie is an artist through and through, a UA instructor both online and at multiple retreats, and one of those humans who is just uniquely, unapologetically her own person. You can see it in the way she photographs, the way she teaches, and the way she moves through the world.
There is no trying to fit into what everyone else is doing. No chasing what photography is supposed to look like. She makes shit that feels like Jessie.
And we absolutely fucking love her for it. 🖤
