Behind the Lens

I pick up my camera to find the beauty in the simplest moments

I'm the creative force behind Fotophile, based in Houston, TX. What started with street photography has grown into a full-service photo and video brand focused on capturing real emotion, energy, and moments.

I shoot solo, keep it simple, and let the work speak. Whether it’s a big celebration, a new property listing, or just a moment you want remembered — I’ve got you. Let’s build something that looks sharp and feels real.

01.


Fact 1


I was born and raised in Houston, so I have a separate passion for Street Photography, Real Estate, and Events.

02.


Fact 2


I’ve always liked snapping people when they’re not trying — real laughs, real moods, real energy. That’s the kind of portrait I aim for.

03.


Fact 3


Just like with my photography, I enjoy the simpler things in life - traveling with friends & family, good food, and music.

04.


Fact 4


I know what it’s like to not feel “photo-ready.” That’s why I focus on making you feel at ease. We’re just hanging out — the fire shots come naturally.

KIND WORDS

Hiring Fotophile for my birthday event was one of the best decisions I made. John’te captured every laugh, every toast, and all the in-between moments I would’ve missed. Everyone looked amazing in the photos, and the turnaround time was super fast. Highly recommend!
