Texas Isaiah focuses on developing an ethos that considers how a sitter should be cared for and protected as they find themselves within a visual archive. He acknowledges the connectivity between the sitter, a visual narrator, the environment, and other external elements required to create a caring image. A commitment to building systems of care is an extension of love. Texas Isaiah believes it's a beautiful way to be reminded of the possibility of what's attainable within ourselves. Despite the medium's historical violence inflicted on Black communities and communities of color, Texas Isaiah believes photography can be a healing mechanism while allowing others to self-actualize their pleasures. Though he has worked in studios and various indoor settings, his interest in imaging individuals outdoors comes from a personal curiosity about nature and the quotidian.

In 2020, Texas Isaiah became one of the first trans photographers to photograph a Vogue edition cover (Janet Mock, Patrisse Cullors, Jesse Williams, and Janaya Future Khan) and a TIME cover (Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union-Wade).

He is one of the 2018 grant recipients of Art Matters, a 2019 recipient of the Getty Images: Where We Stand Creative Bursary grant, a 2020-21 artist in residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem, a 2020 Clio Awards Silver winner for visual curation on Being Seen Podcast, and a finalist for the 2022 Artadia Los Angeles Award.
