Crandall was the first official Grand Teton National Park photographer and served as a resident artist from the 1920s until the 1960s. Harrison "Hank" Crandall homesteaded in Jackson Hole in 1922. As a master photographer, fine-art painter and early concessionaire, Crandall was a fervent supporter of Grand Teton National Park until his death in 1970. In fact, he was the first resident artist in the valley and ran two Crandall Studios for decades: one at Jenny Lake (now the Jenny Lake Visitor Center) and the other at the former town of Moran near the shore of Jackson Lake. Crandall is best known for his landscape photos and oil paintings of the Teton Range, hand-painted wildflower photographs, and images of ranch life in Jackson Hole—including cowboys and cowgirls.
