Best Landscape Photographers in Big Bear, CA
In some photos, it’s the people who are the main subjects and take center stage, while in others, it’s the natural world that is telling the story. Landscape photographers are those who are drawn to the latter and strive to capture that beauty in a single frame.
Surrounded by stunning wilderness areas, it makes sense that Big Bear Lake is home to an abundance of talented landscape photographers. In this guide, we will introduce a few of the best whose approach to landscape photography varies widely.

Jameson Schultz Studio
As a landscape, wildlife, and adventure photography specialist, Jameson Schultz says that he has spent the past decade “chasing down life, light, and wild places.” The impressive images you see in his portfolio are the result of a lot of hard work (and often a little luck), with nature always the driving factor.
Raised in Southern California, Jameson spent family vacations exploring the Eastern Sierra and lived amongst bears and coyotes in an oak tree-filled canyon. With an upbringing like that, it makes sense that he was drawn to landscape and nature photography as a career.
Mountain Dreamscapes
Owned and operated by Dennis and Diane Bentson, Mountain Dreamscapes is a Big Bear Lake-based photography business that is inspired by its natural surroundings. Dennis is originally from New York City but has lived in California since the 1970s where he worked with local ski patrols.
As a result, he has spent a lot of time immersed in the backcountry and it seems only natural that he would want to document those experiences through the lens. Mountain Dreamscapes’ works have been featured on the Big Bear Lake’s visitors guides and adorn countless family homes in the region.
Nature’s Reward Photography
Christine Rothweiler is the woman behind the camera at Nature’s Reward Photography, which specializes in the use of natural light. Her focus is on family, newborn, and maternity portraits but often with the landscape playing a significant role in the composition.
Her approach to photography is inspired by her work as a doula and began with her shooting the birth of her clients. Christine works with clients throughout the Inland Empire, including Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County.
