BiographyBrandon Barela is a self-taught photographer and native New Mexican. Being half Diné and Hispanic, Brandon's photography centers around the uniqueness of both cultures, as well as any random beauty or interesting scenarios he finds while traveling with his camera. Initially fascinated by nature shots, he began sharing photos to various social media platforms and quickly received positive feedback an recognition which inspired him to purchase a budget-friendly camera and take as many pictures as he could. Fast forward a few years as well as a few new cameras and Brandon has developed a timeless style that is widely recognized. What keeps him pursuing that "perfect" photo is not the shot itself but the story and adventure that leads up to it.
