Austin skyline stock footage & photography
Austin's skyline has transformed dramatically over the past decade, and it remains one of the most requested subjects in Texas stock footage. The mix of modern glass towers along the shore of Lady Bird Lake, framed by the rolling green of the Hill Country, creates a skyline that looks different from every angle and in every light condition — and that variety is exactly what makes it so useful for video producers and designers.
This collection covers the Austin skyline across times of day and perspectives. You'll find wide establishing shots from the south shore of Lady Bird Lake looking north toward the Frost Bank Tower and The Independent, close-up telephoto compressions of the tower cluster at golden hour, nighttime cityscapes with the skyline reflecting off the water, and timelapse sequences capturing the transition from day to night. Aerial views are also available showing the full extent of downtown from above.
Every clip and photo is shot on location in Austin and available royalty-free through Pond5. Licensing covers commercial use in corporate videos, advertising, real estate marketing, travel content, news and editorial, and personal projects.
