Sweeping backcountry vistas. Rugged cowboys on dusty, vast plains. Endangered wildlife. If you can’t check out Montana’s natural beauty in person, here are five photography books that bring it to you.
Montana: Portrait of a State
This catalog of vivid photographs shot by musician-turned-photographer Vasapolli covers rustic landscapes of the state including Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks.
The Montana Cowboy
A powerful photographic essay that takes us behind the scenes of life as a cowboy on the range and the century old history behind this iconic slice of Americana. This collaborative effort pairs photographs taken by David R. Stoecklein with narrative text written by Pat Dawson, a native of Montana, and illustrations from renown artist, Buckeye Blake.
Montana: A Scenic Treasure
In Scenic Treasure, Photographers John Lambing and Wayne Mumford go in search of hidden Montana – its remote lakes and scenery, historic monuments, and “elusive wildlife”.
Montana Wildlife Portfolio
Wildlife photography requires an inordinate amount of patience and for photographer Donald M. Jones, it pays off in this collection of over 140 color photographs spotlighting Montana’s varied wild animals in their habitats.
Photographing Montana 1894-1928
For vintage shots of early Montana, this book with more than 150 of Evelyn Cameron’s photographs shows early pioneer settlements within the state. The shots include landscapes, farms, cattle and horses, and other glimpses into turn-of-the-century lifestyle.

Salvatore Vasapolli’s Montana: A Portrait of a State is a small version of his first book, Montana a SAPPI world gold award winning book. His style combines that of Ansel Adams and David Muench! If you can find the first book, buy that one. The large format camera images foreground subjects seem to jump out of the book drawing you into the picture. Most of those books are already collector items with dealer selling them for more than 5x the original cost! Grab it if you can!
