Lindsay D’Addato

Mentor and Photographer

Lindsay’s work in photography explores the complexities of the American West— both its stunning beauty and its harshness and challenges. She moved from New York to Wyoming about a decade ago when she landed herself a job wrangling horses at a remote ranch, which boasted no cell service or electricity. The mountains and the resourcefulness of the people she met that summer inspired a passion that redirected the course of her life and the work she’d go on to pursue. She now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, and plays in the mountains every chance she gets. She loves sharing her passion for the outdoors with the young women of Embark Outdoors.
