legendary portrait photographer, Scott T. Baxter to darwin!

6 nights, Sept 14th - 20th 2025

Join us for an immersive photography workshop at Darwin Ranch, where breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife provide the perfect backdrop for a creative outlook. Under the guidance of legendary portrait photographer, Scott T. Baxter, participants will enhance their skills while exploring the Gros Ventre Wilderness. This workshop includes hands-on instruction, field sessions, and opportunities to capture stunning images during golden hour.

“My inspiration comes mainly from my subjects and their historical context, rather than other photographers. My work is simple and straightforward, I just got out and shoot what feels right. I try to let the photograph come to me. I don’t try to consciously force it, or think how another photographer might shoot it. I just follow what works for me. If you find something you are passionate about, the story will come. The story always comes out before the photograph is even made. The photograph is just the end result of the story.”

— Scott T. Baxter

A little more about Scott:

Scott. T. Baxter works out of his studio on the Historic Cattletrack Arts Compound in Scottsdale, Arizona. His fine art photography work of the American West captures the dichotomy between the elegance and untamed nature of the West. His subjects look through the camera lens with a penetrable look that is comfortable, direct, and honest. Baxter’s work is in numerous museums, corporate and private collections. Notably, his work is in the permanent collections of The Phoenix Art Museum, The Desert Caballeros Wester Museum, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Museum, and the Scottsdale Public Art Program.

Baxter has shot editorially and commercially for Alta magazine, Arizona Highways magazine, Lucchese Boots and Yeti, among others. A large body of Baxter’s work lies in long-term photography projects with historical significance, blending portraiture with working images representing the West. Baxter completed 100 Years 100 Ranchers, a ten-year official Legacy Project for the Arizona Centennial.

““The best photographs ever made of ranchers in Arizona” with “a historical importance that doesn’t exist anywhere else. 100 Years 100 Ranchers isn’t just a series of artful and captivating black and whites, it’s a permanent record of a way of life- a disappearing way of life”. ”

— Robert Stieve, Editor-In-Chief, Arizona Highways
