Exploring New Orleans Through Photography with Coni Gajardo

Send us a text with your thoughts!

In this episode of the Big Photo Hunt podcast, I team up with photographer Coni Gajardo on location in New Orleans, Louisiana, to capture the city’s vibrant spirit. From the energy of Bourbon Street in the French Quarter to the artistic flair of the Bywater neighborhood, we explore how to photograph every nook and cranny of this cultural hub.

Of course, no trip to New Orleans is complete without sampling the iconic beignets at Café Du Monde—so brace yourself for some serious beignet talk. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or simply love the Big Easy, this episode is packed with tips and inspiration for shooting the city’s one-of-a-kind people, stunning architecture, and rich year-round culture.
