Monterrey Mexico My love for Mexico all started because of Monterrey, so it holds a very special spot in my heart. I’ve been visiting this city on and off for the past 3 years and it has become like a second home for me. I always bring my camera when I visit but during my most recent visit, I decided to really focus on photographing for a few days instead of just snapping photos in the moment. Searching for moments always yields better results than waiting for them to present themselves.

Mexico City A collection of images from around Mexico City, including La Merced market. La Merced is the largest food market in Mexico and even has its own subway station that exits directly into the middle of the market.

Ensenada Fish Market I was recently in Mexico for a job photographing a race-team participating in the Baja 1000 offroad race. It was an awesome experience and afterwards I decided to stay in Mexico for a little extra time to travel around and photograph a little bit. I ended up choosing the fish market in Ensenada as my subject and woke up before sunrise and to try and capture a small story of a day there.

Best in the Desert This past week I had the awesome opportunity to photograph a 500 mile off-road race from Las Vegas to Reno. It was my first time photographing an event like this but luckily the media team set me up with a Canon 1D and 70-200mm lens to shoot with. Heres an image of the car and the driver from the team we were following around.

Otoko Austin I was recently given an assignment by Tribeza Magazine, a local magazine in Austin, to photograph Chef Yoshi Okai in his 12 seat sushi restaurant Otoko. Chef Yoshi was recently named one of the top 10 new chefs in America by Food and Wine magazine earlier this year, so needless to say I was excited to have the chance to meet him and photograph him.

KG BBQ I’m starting to get a little more involved in food photography around Austin, Texas. I really enjoy this type of work and hope to keep finding clients in the food industry. This most recent shoot was for KG BBQ, a barbecue catering service based out of Austin and run by Kareem Ghayesh. Kareem is super passionate about barbeque and moved to Texas from Egypt a few years ago specifically for the purpose of learning how to cook Texas style BBQ.

Mexico! I love Mexico. I spent a few days driving around Mexico with a band on tour about 2 weeks ago. We started in Monterrey and went to Mexico City and Guadalajara next. I’m already looking forward to visiting again.

La Jolla, San Diego I’ve recently started working with one of my favorite photographers in Austin (Jody Horton) as his assistant which means Im super excited but all have a little less time to work on my own images/blog/website. I will gladly take this trade-off to be working alongside such a talented and successful photographer. Its been a few weeks but I wanted to get back to blogging some more images from the van trip out west. At this point in the trip we were in Southern Utah at Lake Powell and met another couple who were traveling in their van and suggest visiting La Jolla. We weren’t sure if we were going to make it all the way out to California at this point but talking to the other couple about how much they loved La Jolla solidified the idea of making it out the Pacific Coast. Im glad we did, we got to hang out with a bunch of seals and wander around little tide pools finding all sorts of weird little creatures.

Gulf Coast One of the first stops on my road-trip that seemed photo-worthy was the Emerald Coast in the panhandle of Florida. I followed this heron around for about an hour during sunset to finally get this shot. Hope you enjoy it. Heron at sunset over the Emerald Coast - Andrew Reiner Austin Landscape Photographer

Happy New Year! I am a photographer living in Austin at the moment and spent August through October traveling around in my van photographing National Parks. Since I came back Ive been getting involved in more freelance work and perfecting my website, while also being able to work with some great photographers such as Jody Horton and Kenneth Cappello. This is my first blog post through my website and I intend to start blogging pretty often. Happy New Year! Foggy Yellowstone Road - Andrew Reiner Austin Landscape Photographer
