Cesar De La Cruz is a Dallas-based photographer with a deep passion for film photography and a background in commercial work, including product, food, and editorial portraiture. He first fell in love with photography in 2017 when experimenting with a 35mm camera sparked a lasting curiosity for analog processes and darkroom printing, one that continues to shape his creative and professional path. Drawn to the tactile nature of analog techniques and the quiet magic of darkroom work, Cesar builds thoughtful narratives through both color and black-and-white images that reflect on everyday beauty, place, and memory.
He’s a published artist whose conceptual projects have been exhibited throughout the DFW metroplex, and he's known by collaborators as someone who shows up with focus, warmth, and a deep respect for process. Technically skilled and detail-oriented, he enjoys balancing natural and artificial light and brings a strong command of both analog workflows and post-processing tools like Lightroom, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro.
While developing his visual voice, Cesar also built a strong foundation in commercial photography and has worked professionally as a photo retoucher for over two years. His expertise in digital post-production allows him to balance intuitive storytelling with precision and polish.
Whether assisting on set, editing images, or building meaningful connections in the creative industry, Cesar is committed to growing his practice and staying curious in the ever-evolving world of image-making.
