Best Photographer in Nashville 2026: Ray Di Pietro
When you see photojournalist Ray Di Pietro in the wild, you know you’re in the right place. The ultimate flaneur, Ray is an urban wanderer who documents everything. Following his Instagram account feels like hitchhiking through Nashville — whether he’s breaking news, sharing street fashion or party-hopping, the route is unpredictable but fated and exciting. And with a worldly empathy that shoots straight through his Leica, his style is very distinct. When your eyes land on one of Ray Di Pietro’s pictures, you know it. (Disclosure: The Scene has published Ray’s photographs before, as have several other local publications.)
