When we launched River Beats New Orleans in May of 2018 we knew we had to capture the essence of the city. While doing that in the form of thousands of written articles, we also managed to develop relationships with some of the BEST photographers New Orleans
You never know what the city has to offer; from amazing festivals to unusual sites, and some of the best houses and people of the United States. While some people welcome the setting of unique geographical landscapes and outdoor features, we settle for amazing city views, and once in a lifetime adventures here in the Big Easy.
With that being said, we thought it was time to shine some light on some of the BEST photographers in and around New Orleans and South Louisiana. These are the people who we’ve featured time and time again on our Instagram. We owe it to them for the countless photos they provide.
The best part is that all of these individuals share their very own style, and we love them for it. Check out 25+ of the best New Orleans-based photographer accounts you should be following below.
