Dakota Snider is a professional photographer with 14 years of experience specializing in outdoor, environmental, and destination-based tourism photography.

 

His work is driven by a passion for wild places, meaningful storytelling, and the power of imagery to inspire connection with the natural world.

​

From the granite walls of Yosemite to remote landscapes across the globe, Dakota has partnered with destinations, tourism boards, and organizations worldwide to showcase the beauty, culture, and spirit of the places he photographs.
