About

I'm Esteban, born and raised in St. Bernard Parish, and still here.

I've been making art since middle school, mostly pencil and ink at first. Instagram is what got me shooting my own photography. These days I shoot Sony, make videos, and do custom automotive paint, but it all comes back to composition.

Most of my landscapes are taken from the side of the road. No long hikes, no exotic trips. Just the bayous, oaks, and sunrises we drive past every day. To me, they're as showstopping as anywhere in the world, and they remind me of what I love about home.

Cars have a beauty all their own. I shoot them wide and close so they feel huge, and so your eye follows every curve. If a still photo can carry the sound and smell of the day, I've done my job.

If one of my prints makes you stop for a second, that's the point. Slow down, and there's beauty everywhere.
