Capturing the Landscape, One Frame at a Time

Hi, I’m Travis Ritch — a landscape photographer based in the heart of northern Utah, just outside the Great Salt Lake in Syracuse. Surrounded by rugged mountains, open desert, and the ever-changing shoreline of the Great Salt Lake, I’ve found endless inspiration in the wild, untamed beauty that makes this region so unique.

I specialize in capturing the landscapes of Utah with a focus on seasonal transformation, cinematic composition, and storytelling. My photography blends wide panoramic vistas with the smaller, often-overlooked details — from moody skies over Antelope Island to frost-dusted grasses in the Great Shorelands Preserve.

My Philosophy

I believe landscape photography is more than just beautiful scenery — it’s a way to connect with place and time, to pause and see the world with intention. Whether I’m hiking into the Wasatch, flying my cinematic drone, or kneeling down to frame a wildflower, I’m always looking for that quiet intersection of light, texture, and feeling.

My work is rooted in patience, minimalism, and a respect for nature’s rhythms. I strive to create images that don’t just show where I’ve been — but invite others to feel like they’re standing there, too.

Local Roots, Wide Vision

While my primary focus is on Utah’s diverse terrain — from red rock to alpine — my lens has followed me to other awesome and unique places. I’m especially passionate about building a portfolio titled "Utah Landscapes in Every Season": a personal project that captures both the grandeur and the subtle shifts that define this land throughout the year.

I live in Syracuse, UT. Between parenting, work, family, etc., I try to carve out time — sometimes in the quiet of early morning, sometimes in the golden calm before sunset — to chase the light, chase stillness, and make something worth hanging on a wall.
