Nonprofit Storytelling and Event Photography 

During this talk, Schyler Allyn from Red Lodge, will speak on what it is like being a photographer for a nonprofit and trying to stay on top of each program within an organization to highlight their events and volunteers and either tell or show the story they are trying to convey. I’ll also touch on the other mediums I work in, which include races, concerts, and filming Montana musicians.

Schyler Allyn is originally from Alpine, Wyoming, a small town South of Jackson Hole. He found his passion in photography during his senior year photo class and never looked back.

He graduated from Northwest College with his AAS degree in photography and continued his photography journey to Washington state, eventually finding himself in Red Lodge, MT. Schyler has worked for the Red Lodge Area Community Foundation for close to six years, documenting their programs through video storytelling and photography, which includes an event center called the Roosevelt Center.

When he is not taking photos for the Foundation, you can find him on the race course photographing races and concerts and shooting live sessions for Big Sky Bonus Tracks, his latest venture with a group of great individuals, where they film musicians across Montana and Wyoming for free.
