Hi, I’m Austin Dayton—a lifestyle, studio, and adventure photographer and creative based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I’m passionate about capturing and creating authentic moments and turning them into compelling visual stories. Whether I’m on location in the mountains or behind the camera in a controlled studio environment, I aim to create images that feel alive, honest, and beautifully composed.

My portfolio includes everything from dynamic action shots and intimate portraits to polished commercial campaigns. As a commercial photographer for Maverik, I’ve had the opportunity to shoot a wide range of content—product, lifestyle, and brand imagery—that blends creativity with strategy and storytelling.

I love working with natural light when possible, but I’m equally at home using studio setups to shape mood and precision. No matter the setting, my approach is collaborative—I want people to feel comfortable in front of the camera so the final images are authentic and engaging.
