Book Now
Gray Crane Studios is the gallery and studio of photographer Gary Crandall on West Broadway in downtown Jackson, showcasing 35+ years of North American wildlife and landscape photography from the Tetons, Yellowstone, and beyond. The right fit is collectors of fine-art nature photography, travelers wanting a real Jackson-sourced photography piece to take home, and photography students interested in workshops with a working master. The wrong fit is anyone shopping for souvenir-tier prints; this is collector-grade work at collector-grade pricing.
What you get
A working photographer's gallery and print studio. Inventory includes large-format limited-edition prints, smaller open editions, framed work, and occasional book and portfolio releases. Subjects range across grizzlies, wolves, moose, elk, raptors, and the broader Western wildlife catalog, plus Tetons, Yellowstone, and regional landscape work. Gary Crandall occasionally leads photography workshops and one-on-one teaching; check the website for current schedules. Walk-in browsing during open hours.
Gray Crane Studios: Jackson Hole Wildlife & Landscape Photo Gallery
Three reasons. First, the photography is real. 35 years of fieldwork in this terrain shows in the images: the light, the timing, the wildlife behavior captured at moments most photographers miss. Second, gallery scale. Seeing the work as large-format prints rather than online thumbnails changes the experience; the detail and tonal range are why collectors buy at this level. Third, the artist access. When Gary is in the gallery, conversations about specific images, the field stories behind them, and print options are direct.
Other similar businesses
The peer set in Jackson photography includes Wild by Nature Gallery (Henry Holdsworth's wildlife photography) and a handful of other artist-owned photography spaces. Gray Crane Studios sits in the artist-owned, multi-decade fine-art photography lane; for collectors specifically interested in Crandall's work or in Tetons/Yellowstone-focused photography, this is the right door.
How to plan a visit
Walk-in during open hours; plan 20-45 minutes to see the current work. For collector visits, ask about specific images, edition sizes, and framing options; shipping arranged for purchases. For workshops, check the website for current schedules; programs typically run multi-day on location in Grand Teton or Yellowstone with limited participants.
Things to weigh
Two honest tradeoffs. First, fine-art photography pricing reflects the work; large-format limited editions reach collector tier. Smaller prints and open editions are entry points. Second, hours can vary seasonally; check ahead if your trip is short.
Local tip
For a first photography piece, ask Gary or the gallery staff about which images have ongoing edition availability versus near-sold-out. Some images move slowly; others (often the most iconic Tetons or specific wildlife moments) sell down to the last few prints. Knowing which is which helps you decide whether to buy now or browse and return.
Final word
For 35-year-running fine-art wildlife and landscape photography from a working Jackson master, Gray Crane Studios is the right call. Walk in, take time, and ask about specific images and editions when something resonates.
