Portrait, lifestyle & live music photographer
Danny Benavides
Portrait & Concert Photographer
I am an Austin-based photographer with a passion for capturing the energy and excitement of events, concerts, red carpets, comic conventions and music festivals. With over eight years of experience in the photography business, I have established a reputation for producing high-quality, creative, and engaging images that capture the spirit of the moment.
Spending half my life in Austin, I have always been drawn to the vibrant music and arts scene that the city is known for. After discovering a love for photography, I began honing their craft, perfecting the art of capturing moments and telling stories through the lens of their camera.
Since that time, my contributions have been showcased in various publications and websites, ranging from Complex Magazine to ScreenHub.

What I Believe
I believe the most meaningful photographs aren’t about how a moment looked, but how it felt.” It’s simple, memorable, and gives you room to build a distinctive philosophy around it.
I’m drawn to people who carry their own kind of energy—the focus before stepping onstage, the electricity moving through a crowded room, or the confidence that comes through in a portrait without being asked for. Whether I’m photographing live music or one person in front of my camera, I look for what feels honest, charged, and impossible to recreate. I want to make photographs that stay with you.
