About Simon

Hey, I’m Simon Jon Lynes — a photographer, filmmaker, and painter based in Bozeman, Montana, originally from the Berkshires. With a background in film and a love for storytelling, my work spans mediums but always centers around the same themes: connection, wildness, and wonder.

I’ve worked with brands like L.L. Bean, Salomon, and Karbon Sports, creating visuals that feel grounded, honest, and alive. I also collaborate often with my best friend, Kyle Dempsey — we’ve been chasing light, stories, and wild places together for years.

When I’m not behind the camera, I paint — drawing inspiration from the wilderness and dreamscapes that blur the line between the real and the imagined. It’s a slower, more introspective process, but rooted in the same love for nature and storytelling.

Home is Bozeman, where I live with the love of my life, Taylor, and our two dogs — Ullr, our Malamute-Shepherd, and Pippin, our spirited little Corgi.

Let’s create something meaningful.
