About Jerod Foster

Jerod Foster is a Texas-based freelance photographer who specializes in on-location portraiture and natural history.

Growing up in a largely rural and agricultural community in North Central Texas, Jerod is no stranger to getting his hands dirty when working, and that is what you see in much of his imagery. Freelancing for half a decade, he has had the opportunity to photograph much of the State of Texas from a natural history perspective, capturing the quickly disappearing, unadulterated landscapes, the wildlife communities, the finite textures and layers that make up the Earth, as well as the human inhabitants of the afore mentioned.

However, it is not uncommon to see Jerod’s work in the form of unique, personal portraiture, art photography, and commercial images. When teaching students at Texas Tech University, Jerod often uses the word ‘versatility’ when lecturing about photography, and that word is more than just that; it is practice.

Jerod is also a partner with Sylinda Meinzer in Badlands Design and Production, a specialty book design and publishing firm and high-definition video production entity. The most current project he is working on with Badlands includes a conservation video effort in the Carmen mountain range in Coahuila, Mexico. Badlands recently published Inspiration, Texas Style, as well as Working Dogs of Texas, books comprised of photographs created by long-time mentor and friend, Wyman Meinzer, State Photographer of Texas.
