How many times have I been shooting a structure and wishing I could get just 20 feet up rather than shooting from the ground?. Alas, this is just what the drones offer us. Not only do they offer a different perspective on a structure, but we can add video to leverage aerial motion and feature the surroundings.
Family Portraits portrait photography and individual head shots are an area of photography that requires lighting expertise, patience, and a calm disposition that makes everyone feel comfortable, whether it be a high school senior, a bride to be, or a family of 16. Contact Johnny to explore the best options for your next portrait.
Johnny's Rust Rapture collection is a perfect solution for those with commercial and hospitality spaces or homes looking for stunningly bold abstract photography for their space. Each image has been sculpted from an very close up photograph of the rusted exterior of vintage hot rods and rat rods. Rat Rods are hot rods whose exteriors have been left to the demise of mother nature - sun, rain, wind and an occasional belt sander.

Johnny photographed my son for his first professional head shot a couple of years ago. The photo was fantastic and helped my son land his first post-grad position. I recently hired Johnny to do an updated portrait for my LinkedIn profile. He is very knowledgeable about lighting, setting and all aspects of portrait photography to create a photo that reflects your very best self!! Johnny made the photo session easy to fit into a busy schedule and produced a high quality, flattering portrait at an extremely reasonable price. I look forward to hiring Johnny in the future for a family portrait or other

I have used a lot of photogs since I landed in Austin just more than 20 years ago. Originally I met Mr. Stevens while looking for a film production company. We engaged his firm for our first Austin production and it proved to be a great decision. We worked with his firm for broadcast programming for almost 20 years. He sold that firm and began to focus on his commercial photography, which has proved to be a solid choice. We have engaged his firm for work in Austin, Houston, Phoenix, So. Cal, Washington D.C. and elsewhere. The best thing about having his firm as our remote brand ambassador is we

I was looking for a photographer for a family photo and found Johnny online. I didn't think that most of the other sites with wedding photos would be really relevant to what I was looking for. I liked Johnny's portfolio of family pictures. I also figured that since he had heavy commercial experience, he would be a pro. I figured correctly. He did a great job on an extended family of 11 in an outdoor setting. He was also great to work with, very easy-going and flexible. His wife also helped out at the shoot, coaxing cooperation from 4 grandkids under 5. I thought I might have to

Johnny is on it! He is quick, easy to reach and delivers a beautiful product, capturing the energy of our designs to the degree that I feel comfortable sending him out ‘solo’ to our projects and knowing he will return with quality images. Fantastic customer service and great pricing. I am so happy I found him!

First, and most important, the quality of Johnny's work is EXCEPTIONAL. The way he selected the angles, lighting, composition created remarkable images well above my highest expectations.

Johnny took photos for me for a work project - custom elevator interiors. The images came out beautiful. I have photos taken all over the country and I can say that his were the best of the best (plus reasonably priced). I HIGHLY recommend Johnny for any photography needs. If you hire him you will not be disappointed. I will be using him again for any Austin area photos my company needs shot. Thanks Johnny!

I have worked with many photographers as an Art Director, and owner of a boutique creative agency. In past, I have worked with Johnny Stevens on two projects for clients, an international software company to produce viral videos, and a very unique art project. Now that i am writing novels, I needed a portrait of myself. I am really uncomfortable being photographed and find it almost impossible to relax and feel good about the experience. Therefore, when Johnny came to my residence, with an intern to shoot my photo, I was initially anxious. In little time, Johnny was set-up, and I was completely

My husband and I chose Johnny Stevens as our wedding photographer.
To sum up Johnny at our wedding in two words: calming professionalism. This being our first experience with weddings, we felt overwhelmed with managing the never-ending minutiae. All of our friends told us to expect disastrous last-minute catastrophes. While some aspects of the wedding were chaotic, Johnny was a calming presence in the midst of the storm. He delicately balanced between knowing which shots would look good (he's the professional after all) and asking for our input (it was nice to feel like our opinion was valued

The photo we chose for our new branch's lobby is from Johnny's Rust Rapture Gallery. Customers compliment his artwork daily and it's an awesome conversation piece- it's actually rust from a Chevy! Johnny split one photo into 3 to accommodate our team's vision. He even hung them for us! I am so proud that my workplace represents such a talented and caring artist! Thank you Johnny!

I needed pictures taken for the whole entire office at two different companies and Johnny was such a joy to work with. He is efficient with his time while making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Johnny comes prepared with every piece of equipment and a great team, if needed. The quality of work he produces has been admired and used by all employees. Thank you so much Johnny!

Would recommend to anyone else! I worked with Johnny to have him capture a surprise proposal to my girlfriend, now fiance. He was extremely easy to work with via e-mail/text in setting everything up. I must commend him as he went on his own will and time to scout the area (Botanical Gardens in Austin) and recommend multiple places for me to pop the question. The pricing seemed very reasonable compared to others in the area that I researched. When the time came, he was very professional in the setup and poses around the gardens. My fiance and I are extremely happy with the results and we personally

To understand the value of my review, you have to understand that I *hate* getting my picture taken. For that reason, I've never head a professional head shot taken and recently needed one when photos of our team were requested for a corporate website. Johnny set up an appointment for myself and my colleagues to get head shots taken this past weekend.
I wasn't sure what to expect or even what to wear. He made recommendations on the style of clothing, color based on our individual complexions, and pattern on the material. He even suggested we bring multiple blouses to have options

A friend of mine recommended Johnny Stevens when I said I was looking for something cool and funky to decorate my place with. I ended up buying an awesome print and meeting Johnny in person. He does a lot of great work, especially photographing buildings. Really friendly and professional, Johnny will see me come back for more work.

Professional photography is not subject I spend much time on. I have a business to run, a family to raise and provide for, and well, a life to lead. Now that I've seen some of Johnny's work I'm taking the time to stop what I'm doing to discuss professional photography....that, in and of itself says a lot.
My thoughts; when it comes to a photography you need two things. Someone that helps you feel comfortable in front of a camera and an amazing result once the shots have been taken. Johnny nails it on all fronts. If you are like me, it will take you about 38 seconds before

I had the pleasure of having my professional head shots taken by Johnny. Not only did they come out exactly as I wanted, but he made the whole thing quick and painless (I'm not the biggest fan of having still photos taken). I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highest recommendation!
