Photography Sessions

  • Professional Photo Session
  • Personal Photography
  • Commercial Photo and Video Shoots
  • The museum's two locations on the shore of Lake Austin and in the city's dynamic downtown core make stunning backdrops for your photos!

    Professional Photo Session

    Laguna Gloria is a popular spot for all kinds of professional portraits, including bridal, engagement, proposals, family, quinceañera, seniors/graduation, maternity, lifestyle, and more. We require that you make an appointment at least 72 hours in advance and follow all of our Photography Guidelines.

    If you have any questions, please contact us at rent@thecontemporaryaustin.org or 512 458 8191 x 2.

    Personal Photography

    You are welcome to shoot personal photography on the grounds of Laguna Gloria any time during open hours by purchasing regular admission tickets to the sculpture park.

    We ask just a couple of things:

    • Please do not touch the artwork. Over time, your touch adds up to serious damage to the sculptures' delicate finishes.
    • Do not use your photographs for any type of commercial use. Artists own the copyright to any reproduction of their works. We do not. We cannot grant you the right to use your photos for anything except amazing memories!

    Commercial Photo and Video Shoots

    Both The Contemporary Austin - Laguna Gloria and The Contemporary Austin - Jones Center downtown make interesting locations for fashion and commercial shoots, documentary and narrative film, and more.

    To learn more about location fees, regulations, and availability, please contact us at rent@thecontemporaryaustin.org or 512 458 8191 x 2.
