My name is Arlen Nydam, and since 2007 I have had the privilege of photographing Masses, liturgies, portraits, ordinations, confirmations, baptisms, weddings, quinceañeras—Catholic public life in all its beauty and truth.
As a Catholic affiliated with Saint Mary Cathedral (Austin, Texas) since summer 2001, and having amassed tens of thousands of "Catholic" photos over the course of my various commissions and assignments,
I have a good sense of what is important and how to make it look good in a photo, as well as how to remain relatively invisible.

Here you will find a few highlights from my archive, including official portraits of former Bishop of Austin Joe S. Vasquez, a unique view of the Rose Window from Saint Mary Cathedral, and an epic panorama of the once-in-a-lifetime 2014 Corpus Christi procession to the Texas Capitol. Alongside these are several representative samples of my other work.
