Austin Portrait Photographers

Bryan Lara is a Mexican American photographer who is pushing portrait photography to its limits. Born June 12th 1998, Lara tells stories through film and digital photography inspired by chiaroscuro lighting in the works of artists like Caravaggio and Kentaro Miura. Lara’s experimentation with lighting setups as well as his neurodivergence combine to produce a conceptualized image of emotion in his portraits. The personal connection he has with the talent helps as well, like in Alan, where the subject is Lara’s best friend. Based in Austin Texas, he specializes in hahnemühle prints framed in museum quality glass, and for each of his works there’s only three ever printed. Lara has been featured in exhibitions like AIG Somos Latinos Art Exhibition and at the International Gallery of Photography in Glasgow Scotland.
