OUTDOOR ACTION/LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY

Adventure in every frame. Specializing in Utah’s black-and-white landscapes and brand-focused commercial work. Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, he proclaimed, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” In that simple moment, the world witnessed the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Every great adventure, no matter how monumental, begins with a single step. Let me help you capture the essence of that step in a way that speaks to the greatness of your journey.

Ralston Garrett Photography specializes in landscapes in both monochrome and color, blending fine art with commercial brand storytelling. From Utah’s national parks to apparel campaigns and tourism boards, the photography connects brands with their audiences through authentic and timeless imagery.

Ofland Escalante — Fine Art Landscape Collaboration

Spanning over 200 miles across Grand Staircase–Escalante, Bryce Canyon, and Capitol Reef, this collaboration captured Ofland’s ethos through fine art landscape photography. I hiked extensively through remote desert trails to create visuals that reflected the brand’s soul—authentic, natural, and immersive. Accompanied by my personal BTS photographer, we documented the creative process behind the campaign, which generated strong engagement and established a lasting creative partnership rooted in artistic storytelling.

Trail Runner Campaign

This personal campaign was built to capture the human side of the outdoors—focusing on the connection between people, motion, and nature. The intent was to push my creative boundaries and develop visuals that align with top-tier outdoor brand storytelling. Through this, I aimed to merge fine art landscape sensibilities with authentic, cinematic human moments.

Eagle Mountain City — Trailhead Magazine

Commissioned to capture the essence of Eagle Mountain through Trailhead Magazine, I photographed its landscapes, city events, and community spirit—hiking extensively across the region to showcase the outdoor aesthetic that defines the city’s identity. The publication went on to win the 2025 3CMA Savvy Award for Best External Publication, earning national recognition for its powerful visual storytelling.

The Pingora Project
An Analog Approach to Commercial Storytelling

Working with such tight constraints forced me to slow down and approach the shoot with complete intentionality. Every frame became a deliberate choice — how the fog draped the trail, how the hiker moved through the landscape, how the tones and textures would translate through instant film.
