Welcome to ROSS SWANSON PHOTOGRAPHY website created as a way to share photos with family, friends, wildlife and photo enthusiasts, as well as potential customers.  On a regular basis I will add new images to the Recent Photo Gallery and also put them in the applicable individual galleries, so please check back often. If you are interested in ordering any photos please go to the Photographer Info page for more information.  Thanks for spending time at my website and my hope is you will enjoy the various captured moments I experienced in the field.

About
  • Photographer Ross Swanson was born, raised and still resides in Anaconda, Montana close to the scenic Pintlar Wilderness and Big Hole Valley. My photos try to reflect the emotions and moment in time of the photo subjects as they appeared in front of the camera. Exploring the outdoors, with camera at the ready, presents countless opportunities for the various gifts that nature allows us to observe and enjoy.
     
  • All wildlife photos were taken in their natural environment. A majority of the pictures were taken in Yellowstone, Teton and Glacier National Parks, and the National Bison Range. Living in the Anaconda, Montana area also provides countless photo opportunities in the surrounding Pintlar Wilderness, Big Hole and Deer Lodge Valleys, and other local wildlife hideouts. My time is spent trying to get the exposure and composition correct in the field versus manipulation of images through computer software.
     
  • If you are interested in purchasing any photos, have questions on photos, or need other information please send me a message through the contact page.  I usually use Artbeat Studios for most of my photo enlargements and then have them shipped to my customers.  You can also go to the Fine Art America website to order as I have a limited number of photos also at this location.  The link is http://ross-swanson.artistwebsites.com.  I can add any photo to this website if you wanted to do direct ordering.
     
  • Photos were taken using Canon cameras (40D, 7D & 5D III, 1DX, IDXII and R5), Canon L series lens (300 mm, 600 mm, 800 mm, 100 - 400 mm. and 24-105 mm), with Gitzo/Induro tripods using Wimberly/Really Right Stuff/Induro tripod heads.

  • Just as a fisherman cannot catch fish unless his line is in the water, a wildlife photographer cannot shoot great wildlife images unless he or she is out there with camera in hand and the knowledge of what to do when the magnificent moment occurs - George H. Harrison
     
  • Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow - Imogen Cunningham
