NEIL SIMMONS

Neil Simmons is a photographer with a flair for life that shows up in his work. With a background in both business and photography (as a double-major at San Jose State University), fueled by a true affinity for the art of making pictures, Simmons exemplifies what it means to establish a reputation in the field of professional photography. As co-owner of Roam Wild Photo Tours, Neil has taken his 25 years of professional photography and created an outlet to share his skills with clients.  

Raised in Santa Cruz, California and currently based in Jackson Hole Wyoming, Neil has spent decades photographing iconic landscapes and elusive wildlife, from Yellowstone and the Tetons to remote corners of the world. Through Roam Wild Photo Tours, he focuses on small-group experiences, thoughtful instruction, and ethical wildlife practices—helping guests not only capture compelling images, but also develop confidence, vision, and a deeper connection to the places they explore.  Simmons lives close to many of his favorite photogenic spots, and enjoys the challenge of getting the shots he wants while on the road. The world around him, shimmering and rippling with ever-changing light, provides Simmons with the materials he needs to be inspired and productive.
