Dakota works with outdoor brands, athletes, and adventurers who need powerful visuals captured in real, rugged environments. His work focuses on authentic storytelling — blending action, lifestyle, and landscape photography shot in the wild, not the studio.

Not at all. Dakota collaborates with both established outdoor companies and smaller startups — as well as individual athletes or creators looking to elevate their personal brand. If your story belongs outside, he’s interested.

Absolutely. Whether it’s alpine terrain, desert trails, or remote coastal zones, Dakota is built for travel. He’s just as comfortable hanging out of a helicopter as he is sleeping under the stars — anywhere the story takes shape.

Every project is different, but most include:

    •    Pre-shoot planning and creative direction

    •    On-location logistics and scouting

    •    Photography in challenging terrain and weather

    •    A curated gallery of high-resolution edited images

Optional add-ons include drone work, video coverage, or multi-day expedition support.

Booking 4–6 weeks ahead is ideal, especially for larger productions or travel shoots. Dakota’s fire season schedule can affect availability, but he often fits in spontaneous projects when logistics line up.

Each project is quoted individually based on scope, travel, and licensing needs. Once you share your vision and deliverables, Dakota will build a quote that fits your goals and timeline.

Yes. With years of experience in wildland firefighting and backcountry expeditions, Dakota manages everything from permits and route planning to satellite communication and safety. He thrives where most photographers won’t go.
