Skyler Winter
I've been taking pictures my entire life and professionally since 2020. I grew up in Peyton, Colorado, with my four younger siblings. Throughout my childhood, I learned almost everything I know about photography from my mom, Karin Winter.
I attended Colorado Mountain College in Leadville, Colorado, for two years before taking a "gap year," which I'm currently in the third year of... While in Leadville, I experimented with my photography and gradually found my style.
In 2022, I left Leadville for Europe and spent six months exploring The Netherlands, where I have dual citizenship. This experience broadened my photography skills. However, I had to return home to pursue other goals.
After returning from The Netherlands, I began working for The Colorado Springs Fire Department on a Wildfire Fuels Reduction Crew. That summer, I transitioned to a winter season with the US Forest Service in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where I met many amazing people, including my lovely girlfriend, Emily.
This past summer, I worked on a Type 3 fire engine in the Pike National Forest in Colorado. I dedicated this time to experimenting with film photography, a skill I plan to add to my photo shoot services soon.
Currently, I'm spending the winter traveling with Emily and taking lots of pictures along the way. Thanks for reading and following my journey—I truly appreciate your support!
