Best Fine Art Photographers in San Antonio

What do you think of when you hear the words “fine art photographer?” Is it conceptual, high-end, or just an image that stands out from the rest?

In San Antonio, you’ll find several talented fine art photographers who explore the worlds of street art, weddings, and portraiture. In this article, we’ll introduce some of the best and some of their images that we love.

Al Rendon

For the last 50 years, Al Rendon has been photographing his hometown of San Antonio and is still just as passionate about fine art photography today as when he was just starting out. It all began with him documenting big-name rock bands visiting the city and, over the decades, he has photographed local artists, street food vendors, and everyday people.

Al is well known amongst the locals living in the Lavaca and King Willian neighborhoods and is based out of a historic studio in Southtown. His photographic series explore everything from the city’s Mexican culture to edible plants and a whole lot of fascinating subjects in between.

Liliana Mackenzie Fine Art Portraits

Liliana Mackenzie is a San Antonio-based fine art photographer who is on a mission to help her clients see themselves as a work of art. She draws on her experience working as a creative in the advertising world to help bring her subjects and their personalities to life through gorgeous imagery.

Liliana believes that, all too often, we are waiting to look a certain way or be at a perfect weight before we treat ourselves to a portrait session. During her shoots, she tries to create that perfect experience for clients and give them an opportunity to celebrate themselves, just as they are.

Dos Kiwis Studio

Dos Kiwis Studio is the brainchild of Dane Miller and David Martinez, both of whom are members of the Texas Professional Photographers and the Professional Photographers of America associations. Their images are always of the highest quality, whether they are shooting family portraits, weddings, or model headshots.

Dane and David have a particular focus on environmental portraiture, with clearly visible background elements that add a storytelling element. As fine art wedding photographers, they have shot more than 750 celebrations in destinations around the globe and are among the most trusted photographic names in San Antonio.

May Carlson

May Carlson remembers the exact day that she fell in love with photographs while sorting through a box of old black and white family prints. She loved the way the people were dressed, the background details, and the expressions on their faces, with the experience leaving a lasting impression on her.

Today, May is one of the leading names in San Antonio’s fine art photography scene as a film photographer and artist. She has been awarded The Knot’s Best of Wedding Photographer numerous years and was recognized as one of the top 10 photographers in the country in 2013. We particularly love May’s fine art bridal portfolio, with highly stylized images that you would expect to see in a glossy magazine.

David Medina

David Medina is a Texas-based wedding and portrait photographer who is happy to travel globally for work. He says that his love for photography comes from a “deep curiosity and respect for stories, art, people, culture, relationships, and human connections.”

Over the last 15 years, he has been lucky to travel extensively while photographing couples in love and documenting the magical moments of their wedding days. In return, he delivers exceptional collections of fine art imagery that are infused with meaning. Through his work, David wants to help others experience beauty and love while sharing what is important to him.
