At first glance, El Paso appears to be a small city surrounded by a harsh desert. However, these El Paso landscape photographers are here to show you that there’s far more than meets the eye to this westernmost of Texas cities. Whether you’re a local looking to support an artist or an out of towner hunting for a collaborative partner, come say howdy and get to know one of these Texas creatives.
1. Frank Portillo
Frank Portillo is a herpetologist. While the word may be unfamiliar, one look through his images will clue you into what he studies as a scientist: reptiles, like snakes and lizards! However, while he’s out on the trails studying reptilians, he’s also working as one of the finest El Paso landscape photographers we’ve seen. Frank’s shots always include environmental details, so viewers get a sense of the setting. And he’s just as much a fan of showcasing the winding roads, snow-capped mountains, grassy meadows, and pitch-black night skies that are a few of the scenic highlights West Texas has to offer. Frank’s photography explodes the myth that El Paso and the surrounding area are merely desert and makes you want to come to see that for yourself.

What really caught our attention was their stunning El Paso cityscape photography. Their drone’s eye views and catchy color grading give El Paso residents a view few ever get to see, let alone appreciate, of El Chuco! The desert sunsets, winding highways, and local landmarks all add to the story on display: El Paso is a gem of a city worth loving for its own sake.
3. Sean
Sean is a talented gardener and an El Paso landscape photographer with an eye for big desert skies. Vibrant sunsets are a regular event, but Sean also manages to showcase the unique cloud formations that occur. His drone-level views showcase the backdrop of the Franklin Mountains that are a hallmark of this westernmost Texas city. We also love the variety of color grading styles Sean explores; his freeform use of subdued, natural, and saturated tonalities always play to the strengths of a given scene and never take away from the beauty at hand. There’s always the sense of place, of being a viewer that’s present, rather than looking at something Photoshopped.
