Check Out These National Park Photographers
Tony is a wildlife, nature, outdoor commercial photographer based in East Glacier, Montana, whose backyard is Glacier National Park.
He spends his days photographing landscapes and wild, free-ranging animals in their natural habitat; there are no captive animal photographs in his archives. Tony's images are published each year on covers of the nation's top outdoor and hunting magazines, in advertisements, and on tourism planners and brochures sent around the world.
In 2010 Tony was the Guest Photographer for the Montana Office of Tourism. He has a seasonal art gallery in East Glacier.

Born in France, from Vietnamese parents, Tuan was originally trained as a scientist. But in the mid-1980s his life was transformed by the wilderness of mountains. As a climber, and then mountain guide, Tuan was initially interested in photography as a means to communicate to people who weren't there the wonders he had seen on the high peaks of the Alps.
This participatory approach to photography has taken Tuan to five continents. In 1993, attracted by the proximity of Yosemite National Park, Tuan found his way to the University of California, Berkeley, for what was originally planned as a short stay. There, inspired by the rich tradition of American landscape photography, he learned to use the large format camera.
At that same time, he fell in love with the national parks, and set out for a monumental nature photography project that had not been completed by anyone at that time: photographing all of them with a large format camera, which he felt would be the only way to do justice to their beauty.
By the summer of 2002 he reached the milestone of photographing in large format each of the 58 national parks at least once when he set up his camera on the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes in Arctic Alaska. In 2009, Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan featured Tuan as one of the few living characters in the PBS film , released in August 2009 on Earth Aware Editions, for promoting “spiritual growth, conscious living and positive social change…and offering the reader "new possibilities" for a better life and world, joining previous Nautilus Award winners including Deepak Chopra, M.D., Eckhart Tolle, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, among others.
