My name is Mike Cortez and I am a writer and photographer from Houston, TX. I have been shooting professionally since 2009. I have had the pleasure to work with many different print and digital publications such as the Houston Chronicle, Houston Press, Thrillist and Do512. I also run the blog Bite Me Houston, which revolves around the Houston food and drink scene and Texas Beer Guide which showcases the Texas craft beer industry. I am also a published author and wrote the book “Beer Lover’s Texas: Best Breweries, Brewpubs & Beer Bars”.
I have long admired photography even as a kid. When I was young I was constantly getting in trouble for wasting the film in the family camera but I like to think that I was honing my craft. My biggest passion is concert photography but also enjoy shooting architecture and nature. I am always looking for new opportunities to experiment and I am open for collaborations. Please feel free to reach out.
Cheers!
Mike Cortez
