Hi, I’m Houston Tackett, a photographer, videographer, and creative storyteller passionate about capturing compelling visuals and crafting engaging narratives. My journey began at 19 when I landed my first magazine photoshoot, photographing artist Dean Lewis, who has amassed over 3.5 billion streams on Spotify. That experience sparked my love for photography and videography, leading me to explore storytelling through various creative projects. Since then, I’ve worked with local musicians, commercial clients, and an Austin-based radio station, refining my skills in photography, videography, and Adobe Creative Cloud.
My passion for visual storytelling is matched by my understanding of marketing and audience engagement. Working as a Student Marketeer for Red Bull in Austin, Texas, allowed me to merge creativity with strategy. I had the opportunity to drive the iconic Red Bull Mini Cooper, delivering targeted brand experiences across Texas State University, the University of Texas at Austin, and high-profile events like ACL Music Festival and Formula One. This role taught me the power of strategic branding, grassroots marketing, and the importance of building connections with consumers in an authentic way.
Beyond my creative and marketing work, I have developed strong leadership and organizational skills. As a building manager at the LBJ Student Center at Texas State University, I played a key role in overseeing operations, guiding a team, and ensuring a seamless transition when our department was restructured. I also had the honor of serving in the Gold Star Society, where I represented the university president at high-profile events, engaging with key donors and government officials. These experiences taught me the importance of professionalism, adaptability, and the ability to communicate effectively in any setting.
At my core, I am a creator and a storyteller. I thrive on bringing ideas to life, whether through photography, video, or strategic marketing efforts. I’m always seeking new opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and push creative boundaries. If you’re looking for someone who is passionate about visual storytelling and brand engagement, let’s connect—I’d love to create something incredible together!
