One&Only Moonlight Basin


Photographer: Verena Dohmen

Location: Big Sky, Montana, USA

Commissioned by One&Only Resorts

Perched in the dramatic peaks of Montana’s Rockies, the brand-new One&Only Moonlight Basin – the first property of the luxury group in the US – offers a high-end mountain retreat like no other. I was commissioned primarily for food & beverage photography of their acclaimed restaurants, Akira Back, Wildwood, and The Landing, while also capturing the resort’s overall atmosphere, including spa experiences and mountain skiing.


Through my lens, I focused on authentic luxury, natural light, rich textures, and the colors that define the resort, conveying its unique character, sense of place, and elevated guest experience – ideal for social media, marketing, and resort storytelling.
