Scott Rinckenberger

Photographer

North Bend, Washington

As a lifelong mountain athlete, Scott Rinckenberger’s photography is infused with a profound admiration for alpine ecosystems, a hallmark that defines his work. Skis, bikes, boots, and climbing shoes are his primary tools for exploring remote, rugged terrains. His stunning images have been showcased in art exhibitions around the world and featured by some of the most iconic brands in the outdoor industry, including Apple, REI, and Patagonia.

Scott’s distinctive, minimalist compositions have earned him numerous accolades, including honors from the Lucie International Photography Awards, Photo District News, and the Tokyo International Photo Awards.

While his travels have taken him globally, Scott’s roots remain firmly planted in the forests of the Cascade foothills. After moving to Seattle for college and career development, he settled in the Snoqualmie Valley with his young family in 2015—and he hasn’t looked back since.
