About Me
I’m Phillip West, a photographer based in both Baton Rouge, LA and Houston, TX. Take a look through the gallery section to see some of my work. If you’d like to discuss a potential project, let me know through the contact form.
I’ve had a camera in my hand ever since I was a kid. Whether it was with a disposable Kodak to snag 36 photos of summer camp, or with a slim Sony point-and-shoot to capture memories from family vacations, I’ve always been developing my eye for compositions.
Growing up in both the Pacific Northwest and Colorado, I was spoiled with the sites of gorgeous landscapes and fascinating wildlife. I came to appreciate how easy it was for me to experience that breathtaking scenery when I moved away to the South in 2015.
When the convenience for nature photography withdrew for me, it became easy to divert my photographic attention towards another passion of mine, cars. Combining my automotive passion with my interest in photography served to double the amount of time I put into both hobbies. I began fervently caring for and modifying the cars I owned alongside capturing moments at car meets and snapshots of friends’ cars as often as I could.
Lately, I’ve been able to travel more often which has enabled me to return to the genres of landscape and wildlife photography that I loved when growing up. I’ve also kept experimenting with new styles and developed an interest in street photography and portraiture.
