Dante Ernesto Kroener
Dante Ernesto Kroener, born in La Paz, Mexico, has now made Bend, Oregon his home base. An enthusiastic traveler with a passion for the outdoors, Dante's adventurous spirit is beautifully captured through his lens. From the young age of just 12, he dreamt of becoming a photographer. His artistic journey unfolded overtime, and after six years he brought his vision to life by starting Ernesto Expositions in 2022. Through his company, Dante continues to weave together his love for exploration, nature, adventure, through captivating visual narratives that hopefully inspires others to embark on their own journeys of travel and self-discovery.
The Start
Shortly after sunrise on a smoky summer morning in 2016, Dante rose early to visit the lake before breakfast in the cabin his parents had rented for the weekend at Suttle Lake. As he strolled past the cabins toward the water’s edge, he beheld the most surreal scenery he’d ever seen. The smoke from the Central Oregon fire clung to the water’s surface, creating a soft, dreamlike atmosphere. The trees loomed tall, their silhouettes softened by the angelic light, and life felt still. He pulled out his brand-new phone and took a photo that perfectly encapsulated the serene beauty around him. This was the moment he captured.

That single shot marked the beginning of his photography career, which eventually evolved to include videography as well. As you can imagine, Dante’s love for photography was deeply rooted in landscape, exploration, and travel. For the rest of his youth, he seized every opportunity to discover new places and capture the most unique landscapes he could find.
