Two guys. A Land Cruiser. A Doberman. And the open country that's still out there if you know where to look.
Our StoryOur Story
Jonathan & Justin — and Zeke, the Doberman
Jonathan sees what the land remembers. Justin sees what it's still trying to say. Together they're paying attention.
Together they run Wilder Perspectives: a photography, storytelling, and conservation project built on the belief that you can't protect what people don't feel something for. The camera is the vehicle. The writing is the argument. The open country is the point.

It occurred to me as we drove by the herd in our mud-splattered Land Cruiser that the rather majestic bison's grandfather likely also wondered why people — then in wagons — were interrupting his dinner.

I was eight years old. The morning was cold, the sun still buried under the horizon. I was never an early riser, but that day I was up before dawn, dressed in K-Mart-aisle camouflage.

The holidays are a weird time for me. I come from a large family, but that family is broken. Peace can be found in more places than we were taught to look. At the buffet, the turkey is always warm.

Some of what we've seen out there.
Fine Art Prints
A portion of every sale goes directly to conservation. Always. You're not just buying a photo — you're buying back a little piece of what almost wasn't here.
Prints of our work are available in the Etsy shop. Looking for something you saw here that isn't listed, or a size we don't offer? Write to us and we'll sort it out.
Sessions
We photograph people and the animals they work alongside. Horses, cattle, dogs, the country they all move through. It's the same thing we do out west, turned toward home.
Ten percent of every session goes to American Wild Horse Conservation. The horse in your pasture and the one on the range are the same animal. One of them just got lucky.
Organizations We Believe In
A portion of every print sale and every session goes directly to conservation. These are some of the organizations doing the real work — on the ground, in the policy rooms, and at the fences. There are many more worth supporting.

News & Updates
Yellowstone and Grand Teton winter expedition. Two weeks of bison in the snow, wolves if we’re lucky, and whatever else the season gives us.
We started taking commissioned sessions — people and the animals they work alongside. See Close to Home.
"Caught Up in a War They Knew Nothing About" published on Substack — our bison essay and the first piece in the Wilder Perspectives series.
Speaking
Conservation storytelling. The American landscape. Why wild places matter and how to make people care enough to protect them. We'll bring the stories — you bring the audience.
