Outdoor adventure, travel, and lifestyle photography
I’m a photographer and videographer that specializes in capturing vibrant and dynamic product, destination, and lifestyle photography for outdoor recreation and travel brands. Based in the Pacific Northwest, I partner with brands across North America.
Selected work
Outdoor recreation
My outdoor recreation coverage aims to capture dynamic gear and clothing footage on real-world outdoor adventures. From challenging backpacking trips in the North Cascades to winter sports and road trips in my truck camper, I can make any vision come to life. I'm prepared with the outdoor skills and knowledge to capture authentic assets in a variety of conditions and activities, all while following Leave No Trace and responsible recreation principals.

I have worked with over twenty travel, destination, and hospitality brands to capture photography assets for their print and digital use. Whether you need lifestyle images with models, landscape photography, or general destination coverage, I have expertise capturing a wide range images in travel and tourism.

Welcome. I’m Gwyneth Manser.
I love capturing the changing seasons, and I'm happiest hiking in the mountains, or on a road trip in the American Southwest. I have a Ph.D. in geography, but pivoted mid-career to pursue my lifelong passion for photography.
Clients that work with me can expect a high level of professionalism, and timely project delivery. As a photographer, I prioritize natural light, and I enjoy capturing timeless, vibrant imagery of people, products, and places. I know every project and client is different, and I enjoy tailoring my photography approach to meet my client's diverse and unique needs. You can read more about me below.
