Alec Knight
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 5 years and have taken pictures ever since I could hold a camera. When I was a kid I was heavily inspired by Spider-Man and always wanted to be a photographer like Peter Parker. In my spare time I really enjoy just walking around downtown or the Domain and and taking photos of whatever catches my eye. When I’m not working with a camera I’m usually hanging out with my black lab puppy, Sirius. My specializations include; portraits, headshots, street photography, and events, with a current emphasis on real estate and architecture. I have a passion for capturing meaningful images. I am an original “Austinite”; born and raised in Austin, Texas. I love tacos, dogs, and live music just like everyone else from this city!
