In this Q&A with queer artist Robert Alvarez, we discuss the importance of identity and representation, the challenges of finding a sense of belonging in a rapidly changing city like Austin, and the power of art to inspire.

What inspired me to start photography?
I took a few classes in college but it wasn’t until I started photographing people & making them feel seen & beautiful that I fell in love with the art. Once I shot my first wedding that was a true representation of the couple & their love, I was HOOKED!
For most of my sessions I find inspiration in the couples story, how they met, what they do together, what brought them to this point, then figuring out creative ways to tie it all together.
