About
me

Who's behind the lens, and what I point it at.

01 — IAN BEAN (atx_bat)

The man
Behind the mask

I spent 14 years working in a movie theater, surrounded by films and storytelling every day. Looking back, that played a huge part in shaping the way I see things creatively. I became obsessed with how a shot, a camera movement, or the right moment could completely change the way something feels.

Eventually, I wanted to create those moments myself.

Today, I’m a photographer and videographer based in Austin, specializing in automotive, motorsports, events, portraits, and brand work. Whether I’m shooting cars at speed, working trackside, or filming from a helicopter with a gimbal, I’m always chasing that cinematic feeling that first inspired me years ago.

Fourteen years around movies taught me how powerful visuals can be. Now I get to create my own.
