About the Artist

Scott Wilkes, Photographic Artist

Master of Photography (PPA), Certified Professional Photographer (PPA)

As a passionate nature and wildlife photographer, my journey is driven by an unyielding love for the great outdoors and an insatiable curiosity about the natural world. Though my work has yet to be published, my portfolio is a testament to countless hours spent capturing the raw beauty and intricate details of some of America’s most iconic national parks. My photography is more than just a hobby; it is a profound way to connect with nature, documenting moments that are often overlooked in the hustle of daily life.

My adventures have taken me through the breathtaking landscapes of Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier, and Big Bend National Parks. Each park offers its own unique challenges and rewards, from the towering peaks and pristine lakes of Grand Teton to the geothermal wonders and abundant wildlife of Yellowstone. Glacier National Park’s rugged terrain and dramatic scenery provide endless inspiration, while Big Bend’s vast desert expanses and river valleys offer a stark, captivating beauty. These diverse environments have allowed me to develop a versatile photographic style, adapting to the varying conditions and light each location presents.

My work is characterized by a deep respect for wildlife and a commitment to ethical photography practices. I prioritize the well-being of the animals and their habitats, striving to minimize my impact while capturing their natural behaviors and environments. This approach not only ensures the safety and comfort of the wildlife but also results in more authentic and compelling images. My goal is to create photographs that inspire others to appreciate and protect the natural world, fostering a greater understanding and stewardship of these precious environments.

Each photograph I take is a piece of a larger narrative, a story of the delicate balance and interconnectedness of nature. My camera lens has framed countless sunrises, caught the fleeting glances of elusive animals, and immortalized the serene beauty of untouched landscapes. Through my photography, I hope to share the awe and wonder that I feel in these moments, inviting viewers to see the world through my eyes and encouraging a deeper connection with the natural world.
