Justin Tyler beautifully documents Colorado in all its glory from season to season. While he roams the Rockies, Justin has a special eye for capturing moody sunsets and sunrises casting a warm glow on our region’s towering mountains. His use of saturation and contrast is absolutely breathtaking.
@franknovotny
Frank Novotny uses his Canon camera to capture the stunning scenes in Colorado, from the majestic mountaintops to the serene rivers. His photos have a magical glow about them, as he works with existing light and adds artistic touches of his own. Frank’s photography evokes delightful drama and an almost surreal sense of beauty.

Abigail Lafleur-Shaffer is the talented human behind the highly successful @kodiak_thebeardog and @kuma_thehuskybear accounts, two adventurous pups who also happen to make excellent models — especially with Colorado scenes as their backdrop! Abigail has an incredible ability to capture the region (and wherever else she travels) in a truly artistic way.
@anders_j_ipsen
Anders J. Ipsen was born and raised in Upstate New York but moved to Colorado a few years ago — and we’re so glad he did. Anders spends a lot of time backcountry hiking, biking and splitboarding, which is why many of his photos are landscapes. He does an especially beautiful job at capturing sunsets and sunrises — and the unique cloud formations they illuminate.

An adventure seeker and photographer, Ben shares a diverse variety of scenes on his account, from Oregon Coast beaches to waterfalls tucked away in the forest.

@evang_travels
Fort Collins resident Evan Gerstung is a photographer, adventurer and traveler. To date, he has visited 35 out of the 62 national parks in the country and has even ventured to five of the 46 Canadian parks! His photos are so complex and surreal that many look like they could be paintings.

@coats_73
Chat has a knack for capturing moody fog, mountain and tree shadows, sunsets and sunrises, whether he’s traveling to Hawaii or exploring Rocky Mountain National Park here in Northern Colorado. The detailed texture on his mountain photos is particularly inspiring!
