Gino Barasa is an Austin, Texas-based freelance photographer. Gino is grateful he grew up poor so that he could never afford to leave the state of Texas. Known in Austin for his love of shooting the ever-changing Austin landscape, his true love is found in the Texas Hill Country and the endless vistas of the great wide open spaces of West Texas. Gino feels his strength is in trying to understand the story that every setting is telling and finding a way to let that story ring true in the images he captures.
