Tobin Yates

Filmmaker | Photographer

Wild places, and the people who explore them.

I'm Tobin, a filmmaker and photographer based in Seattle. I make documentaries, short films and stills of natural landscapes and the people in them, from Brazil's Pantanal to the alpine zone of New Zealand.

I graduated from Dartmouth in 2026 with a degree in Environmental Studies, and I now assist National Geographic wildlife photographer Mike McGovern.

I share short films from the field on Instagram, where my two most-watched reels have more than 700,000 likes between them.
