Michael Schober Photography Fine Art Nature Photography

For years I lived in Death Valley...Now I'm living the dream in Big Sky, Montana.
❤️ & ✌️

Formerly from Plano, TX, Michael Schober left his IT career as a Microsoft Systems Engineer in 2016, and sold his house and everything he owned in order to live a dream of life on the road as a full-time RV'er. He has a 12 year old siberian husky, Summer, along for the ride and now calls Big Sky, Montana home. Michael bought his first telephoto lens in 2016 for his first trip to Yellowstone Nation

al Park and it changed his life forever. The surreal experience photographing his first wolf, bison and osprey, and the profound connection he had in those moments with Mother Nature, saved his life and led him to dedicating his life to sharing that connection with the rest of the world. After spending over 3 years traveling around the western United States as a full-time RV'er, he began workamping in our national parks, all the while pursuing his dream as a fine art nature photographer and connecting people to the beauty of this world through his art and life story. Michael spent the last 4 years living in the hottest place on Earth, Death Valley National Park, before deciding to uproot his life in 2025 and leave the RV life behind to go back to where it all started and tell stories of the greater Yellowstone area. He's now putting down roots with his partner in Big Sky, Montana. Mother Nature saved his life and led him to losing 100 pounds through hiking and nature photography. He hopes his openness with his mental health struggles and his path to overcome them will help somebody else that might be quietly hurting inside. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride and supporting him in his dreams. Hopefully his work inspires or connects you to a special moment in your life. ❤️ & ✌️

A little Oregon Coast love today. I traveled and lived along the coast for 18 months, camping at a different state park every week. Easily one of the best experiences I've ever had and the best state park system in the country. The pups certainly loved playing at the beach every day too. Needless to say I've only shared a fraction of my photos from that time and still have at least 100 more to add to my portfolio. One of these days I'll get to it...one of these days!

“King of the Tetons” - Hoback, the famed bull moose in Grand Teton National Park, crossing reflected waters at Schwabachers Landing back in 2021.

All the pieces came together in the most perfect way for this shot after photographing him for weeks near Gros Ventre Campground. Just a day earlier he began shedding his velvet and for weeks the mountains were barely visible from smoke from nearby fires until it cleared up that morning. I spotted him near a tree line a half mile away that morning, miles from where he was just a day earlier, and tracked him through the bush for a couple hours as he fed and made his way to the river. He met up with another bull on the other side of the shore here and began sparring. A moment i’ll never forget.

I hope you guys had a very Merry Christmas and were able to spend some time with family and friends this holiday season!...

I hope you guys had a very Merry Christmas and were able to spend some time with family and friends this holiday season! Sending you all lots of love.

Many folks are away from family and need a little extra love around this time of year, especially in places like where I work where there are tons of young kids and seasonal workers away from their loved ones for the first time. I remember my first years of living overseas over 20 years ago and it was very depressing and hard time being alone and so far away around this time of year. You never know what somebody is feeling inside, so put a smile on your face and show kindness and understanding. It goes a long way.

I took this back in 2020 while kayaking and photographing ospreys at Shadow Mountain Lake in Grand Lake, Colorado. My attention was focused in the opposite direction waiting for an osprey to dive down to catch a fish, when all the sudden I heard some splashing in the water and saw this mama moose and her calf walking along the shoreline. I had just mere seconds to turn my kayak and snap this stunning shot.
