Blake Monroe is a PRCA photographer from the small town of Graysville, Indiana. For the past three years, he has traveled across the country capturing the grit, tradition, and moments that make rodeo special.

Before stepping behind the camera, Blake competed as a steer wrestler, and photography became a way to stay connected to the rodeo lifestyle and community he’s always loved. Raised in southern Indiana where life moves a little slower and a handshake still means something, he carries those same values everywhere he goes.

Through Wild Rodeo Photography, Blake focuses on telling authentic stories and preserving the western way of life one rodeo at a time.

A native of Belgrade, Montana, Kolby Ruff got interested in fighting bulls, growing up around Al Sandvold. Sandvold fought bulls for 20 plus years, was a Montana Circuit Finals Bullfighter multiple times and qualified for the Wrangler Bullfights in 2000. Sandvold is now a barber in Belgrade, and while cutting Ruff’s hair, convinced him to try bullfighting at his school in North Dakota with Nate Jestes. Ruff is a member of the PRCA and has fought bulls for PRCA sanctioned rodeos and the PBR for 3 years. In that time, he’s worked rodeos all across the country - Rodeo Rapid City, the historic Cowtown Coliseum Rodeo in Fort Worth, TX, Livingston’s 4th of July Rodeo, and the Bozeman Stampede. He’s also qualified for the Bullfighters Only World Finals twice, in 2022 and 2023. Following in his mentor’s footsteps Ruff was picked to be a bullfighter at the 2025 Montana Circuit Finals.
