SNOWMASS TOURISM PHOTOGRAPHER

Since 2015, Tamara Susa has played a key role in visually defining Snowmass Village through her work with Snowmass Tourism. As an experienced Colorado landscape photographer and visual storyteller, Tamara has been instrumental in building the visual identity of this iconic mountain destination, capturing the rich texture of life in the Roaring Fork Valley—from thrilling outdoor adventures to tranquil alpine moments.

Whether shooting powder-filled ski days at Snowmass Ski Resort, early morning hot air balloons rising over golden aspens, or summer concerts on the Snowmass Mall, her work distills the unique energy of a place where rugged mountain landscapes meet luxury resort experiences.

Tamara’s photography work for Snowmass Tourism includes:

  • Marketing campaigns for all four seasons

  • Visuals for digital, print, and social media

  • Coverage of cornerstone events such as the Snowmass Balloon Festival, Free Concert Series, and Snowmass Rodeo

  • Promotional imagery for skiing, mountain biking, hiking, dining, and local culture

  • Strategic image creation that connects adventure, community, and conservation

Her style blends landscape and nature photography with compelling human moments—making Snowmass feel both aspirational and authentically lived-in.

Capturing the Spirit of Snowmass Year-Round

What sets Tamara apart from other Colorado landscape photographers is her deep connection to Snowmass as both a resident and creative partner. Her images reflect an insider’s perspective—aware of the nuances of light, season, and local rhythms. Her Snowmass work spans:

  • Winter: Mountain landscapes photography of snow-covered peaks, ski resort energy, and peaceful snowshoe trails

  • Summer: Mountain biking, tree landscape pictures, and aerials that show off green meadows and red-dirt ridgelines

  • Fall: Aspen trees Colorado, golden-leaf trails, and serene fly-fishing scenes

  • Spring: Rain-soaked paths, muddy bike tires, and the reawakening of wildflowers
