We’ve always been more interested in the art than in the sale.
For 50 years, Busath photographers have made beautiful, honest portraits. We’re not much into trends here. Maybe that’s why some people compare us more to painters than commercial photographers. We’ve made official portraits for 4 Governors, 5 Mayors, 3 LDS Church Presidents, even George W. Bush with world leaders at the Olympics. You’ll see our portraits at Symphony Hall, in universities, hospitals and theaters.
But our favorite work is done for non-celebrities. Every assignment has great potential for us, (the next Mona Lisa or at least family heirloom) whether it’s your newborn baby, your 17 year-old or your family.
Our History
Don Busath started a photography career in 1955, photographing assignments from portrait to fashion to aerial work. Don and his wife Donna opened their own portrait studio on State Street and South Temple in 1973.

Original Busath Studio 1973
Drake Busath joined the business 25 years ago and together they moved the main studio to it’s present location on historic South Temple Street. He eventually bought the business and expanded it to Provo, UT. Along with Drake, 3 talented photographers and a “family” of the best retouch artists, print-makers and consultants continue the traditions started 50 years ago. Get to know our crew.
