About Jay Virnoche

Photography has been a lifelong passion, beginning as a self-taught pursuit and evolving into a refined art through dedicated study and hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of learning from nationally and internationally recognized photography professionals, honing both technical skills and artistic vision.

Now based in Sandpoint, Idaho – a place of endless natural beauty and photographic inspiration – I focus primarily on capturing the breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife that define this region and beyond. While I have experience across many facets of photography, including event and sports photography, my true passion lies in “Scapes” and wildlife, where nature’s raw beauty and ever-changing light create moments worth preserving.  

Through my work, I strive to bring the grandeur of the natural world into homes, offices, and personal collections, allowing others to experience the wonder of these places and creatures as I see them – one frame at a time.
