The 12 Best Editorial Photographers in Houston

Editorial photography tells a story. Traditionally used in newspapers and magazines to support the story of the text it has evolved into an artform in itself. Editorial images are the visual representation of concepts and the art of making them encompass many genres of photography from fashion, to portrait, to lifestyle. Each of the following Houston editorial photographers have their own creative takes but they share a passion for storytelling and a commitment to imagining new ways to push the art forward.

Simply one of the best fashion editorial photographers in all of Texas, Stevie D. has been widely published in magazines including Elléments, 7Hues, and Surreal, just to name a few. He has a haute-couture polish to his work—professionally styled and expertly posed, his shots are the epitome of high fashion.

A lighting expert and long-time lover of the medium of photography, Stevie boasts the depth of skill to earn him the respect of big-name clients and models alike. He is also the owner of Vision Light Studios in Houston, a rental space for the photography community to let their creativity run wild.

Widely published Houston editorial photographer Andrew Strother has distinguished himself with his ability to tell a compelling story in one shot. He has shot magazine covers—highlighting this ability—and he often works as a sports photographer covering the major sports teams in the area. His use of bright, eye-catching colors command the attention of the viewer and allow his subjects to truly shine.

The best editorial photography is alchemy—taking the basics of light, posing, and a story and turning it into gold—Laurie Perez is one of the best. She is a master of her craft, melding the fundamental elements of a photo and transforming them into pieces which are more than the sum of their parts.

Known as a “lighting queen,” she uses a combination of strobes and natural light to create the exact mood she wants—everything from upgraded natural to highly stylized flash shots are within her abilities. Often published in magazines as diverse as Modern Luxury Brides Houston and Modern Luxury Interiors Texas, her work is everything an editor likes to see.
