About the event
RSVP TO SAVE THE DATE and get event updates as details solidify. The Lunar Foundation presents the second session of the 2026 Illuminate Speaker Series: an evening with photographer Peter Yang.
A contributor to Rolling Stone, GQ, Esquire, and The New York Times Magazine, Peter has spent three decades photographing some of the most recognized faces of our era, from Barack Obama to LeBron James. Born in Taiwan and raised in Dallas, he built his career across New York and Los Angeles. He got his start here in Austin, and this conversation brings him back.
Whether you shoot for a living, want to, or just love the craft, this is a rare chance to hear how one of America’s top editorial photographers actually built his career.
The evening includes a moderated conversation, audience Q&A, and a post-talk mixer. Free and open to the public.
