Salcido’s haunting sepia-toned black and white photographs exhibit his passion for his subjects as well as his technical facility with his camera. “My photography depicts a Spain of soulful traditions that include fiestas and brave bulls; both visually elegant and poetic. These images were perhaps meant to be painted but instead became photographs.” Salcido’s fine art photography has been included in the permanent collections of the Witliff Gallery of Southwestern and Mexican Photography at Texas State University-San Marcos, The El Paso Museum of Art, the Harry Ransom Humanities Center at UT Austin and other institutions. In 2004 he was one of three Fulbright scholarship finalists for a Bolivian photography project and was nominated for the 2005 Arthouse Texas Prize. Joel Salcido continues to work as an editorial and fine art photographer in Austin, Texas, and he continues to produce work for galleries and publications like USA Today and Texas Highways.
