In the studio with Houston's man behind the camera - Al Torres of Al Torres Photography. As a sought after photographer for newsmakers around Houston, Al talks about how he captures those famous photos of television and media personalities through his unique camera lens. The photographer for Media Alliance of Houston and the Star Awards Gala (April 14, 2022 at the Post Oak Hotel) discusses everything from taking photos of news personalities in both their working news room environment to capturing the true personality outside of the newsroom; creative advertising campaigns he's worked on; what he knows about the psychology of photography plus what inspires him (and his subjects). From album cover art to his iconic photo of President George Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush at the Palms Restaurant in Houston to his current project: cover art photographer for local television personality Dominique Sachse's new book "Life Makeover: Embrace the Bold, Beautiful, and Blessed You", this photographer knows everything it takes to capture the best image for his clients.
