As a storyteller, I’m always inspired by people who use their craft to connect hearts and minds across cultures—and few do this better than Seth Royal Croft.
On Friday, October 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern, I’m hosting a live Zoom session with Seth titled “The Story Thread.” This conversation will dive into how he weaves faith, purpose, and emotion into the stories he captures through photography and film.

I’m excited to announce Seth Royal Kroft as our next speaker for The Story Thread on October 10 and invite you to join us for what promises to be a powerful evening of storytelling, vision, and inspiration.
Who is Seth Royal Kroft?
Seth’s photographic journey began in the simplest ways — a disposable camera tucked into his hand on school field trips, capturing memories without knowing the “right” way. Over time, that curiosity turned into passion. He upgraded from a Kodak EasyShare, then borrowed his mother’s Canon Rebel to try photographing deer behind his home.

In high school, Seth took a photography class to fulfill an art credit — not because he saw himself as a visual storyteller yet, but because it was a requirement. Yet that class planted seeds. After graduation, he worked at Best Buy, where he immersed himself in learning camera gear and techniques.
However, his six years of volunteer work with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) were the real turning point. During that time, he traveled globally and used his camera to document life, serve others, and tell stories that connected people across distances and cultures.
He continued growing, investing in training, switching systems, juggling day jobs, and guiding tours before finally stepping full-time into photography. In March 2025, Seth realized a lifelong dream and opened his own photo gallery in Billings, Montana.
Today, his work centers on mountain landscapes, wildlife, and outdoor adventure, and he partners with nonprofits to make a meaningful impact.
But more than his gear, galleries, or accolades, Seth lives by three guiding priorities: Faith, Family, and Fotography (yes, with that “F”).
What you’ll get from Seth’s talk
When Seth shares his story on October 10, you’ll hear firsthand how these elements blend:
- The unlikely origins of a creative life
- How setbacks and side jobs often lead to breakthroughs
- The role of faith and family in sustaining purpose

If you’re a photographer, storyteller, creative professional, or passionate about purpose and legacy, you’ll walk away encouraged, challenged, and inspired.
