A Face With The Name: Randal Ford

Randal Ford

Sitting for this week’s edition of A Face With The Name is our fellow photographer buddy Randal Ford. When I was interning at the Butler Bros I asked them who had photographed the massive can of Schlitz hanging on the wall and they said it was him. I met him shortly thereafter and have followed his work ever since.

Randal’s portraiture is incredible. If you live in Texas you’ve undoubtedly seen his work on the cover of Texas Monthly many times, including this coming month’s issue. Recently in the thick of political and religious division in this country he collaborated with Roy Spence of Idea City on the well known Amazing Faith of Texas in which they highlighted the common interests us Texans have despite our diversity. Though his human portraiture is amazing, he’s also garnering a lot of attention for his animal portraits. After being commissioned to shoot portraits of cows by DJ Stout of Pentagram (who will be featured on here in the coming weeks) he has become quite the animal photographer as well.

Randal’s got a lot of professional accomplishments to be proud of but he’s a down to earth guy without the ego that normally comes along with success. He and his wife live here in Austin and recently welcomed a new baby girl to their family. He’s just a regular guy. A regular guy who happens to take badass pictures.

See his portfolio here. Stay tuned for more to come in our Face With The Name spotlight. We’ve got the aforementioned DJ Stout of Pentagram and Ron Pippen of Shiny Object coming soon.

Note: If you’ve got someone who you’d like to see featured here, send us the idea.
