Tito West was born in 1985 and was raised across the south Texas brush country and along the coastal islands of the Gulf of Mexico. These landscapes instilled in him a deep fascination for the natural world. He has spent the last 20 years following that fascination by working on extensive projects across Africa and South America and a number of other places in between. Tito is currently working on writing a screenplay and developing a feature film based on his experiences working in Brazil. In 2024, he published his first monograph of photography titled Another Life.
Tito now divides his time between projects in Africa, Brazil and his home in south Texas, where he lives with his wife and three children. His photographic work is rooted in the belief that images still have the ability foster connection and understanding across boundaries, while his life at home is grounded in a desire to share with his children the wider world he has come to know.
