About Us
Re-seeing the world. Reconnecting with yourself.
Wild Photon arose from the belief that nature doesn’t just need to be seen — it needs to be remembered. And not in a digital blur or a highlight reel. In full, vivid, soul-deep detail.
We create outdoor photographic experiences that reveal what often goes unnoticed: subtle shifts in light, fleeting interactions between species, the way a landscape holds memory. But more than that, we help people rediscover their own relationship with nature — and through that, their relationship with themselves.
Whether you’re standing in the coulees at sunrise or trekking into the mountains, our goal isn’t just to take a beautiful photo. It’s to shift your perspective — to remind you that awe still lives outside of screens, and that your presence in the world has weight, meaning, and impact.
In a time when AI is generating everything from text to portraits, we believe there’s radical power in slowing down, standing still, and witnessing what’s real. Wild Photon experiences reconnect people to the wild stories unfolding around them — and the ones unfolding within.
About Tyler Forster
Founder. Photographer. Experience Designer.
I’m not a lifelong professional photographer — I’m a lifelong observer. My background is in science, physics, and ecology, and for years I explored the world through those lenses. I’ve studied the structure of light, the behavior of species, and the systems that hold our ecosystems together. But it wasn’t until I fully embraced the art of photography that I realized: awe isn’t just something to understand. It’s something to feel.
That shift — from analysis to artistry — is what Wild Photon is all about.
Now, I bring both sides of my brain to every session. I use my scientific training to read light, patterns, and environments in ways that help me see moments before they happen. I use my artistic side to guide each experience with curiosity, emotion, and deep attention to story.
And I do it all not as someone who’s trying to teach you something, but as someone who’s learning with you — about what it means to slow down, to pay attention, and to make meaning from the wild photons all around us.
Working With Us
More than photos. More than a hike. More than you expect.
Working with Wild Photon doesn’t feel like hiring a photographer — it feels like being invited into something intentional. Every part of the experience is crafted to reveal what matters most, not just capture what’s visible.
We don’t rush to get the shot. We study the light, the land, and the energy of the moment. We ask questions you’ve probably never been asked before — about your journey, your memories, and how you want this to live on in your family. And we use those answers to design an experience that feels just as meaningful as the final artwork.
Yes, there’s posing — but it never feels stiff. We guide you based on your personality, your story, and the natural flow of your body in the landscape. We use the physics of light and the psychology of perception to shape each image, so it not only looks stunning — it feels like you.
We hike with a professional guide so you’re always safe, relaxed, and able to focus on the moment. We carry the gear, read the weather, and make sure you never have to worry about anything except being fully present.
And when it’s all done, you won’t just walk away with photos. You’ll walk away with a renewed sense of connection — to the natural world, to your memories, and to yourself.
