An Eccentric Expedition into 21st Century Cityscape Photography
After 10 years in business, TIA reveals in this thoughtful retrospective how it came into existence with an interminable objective to deliver atypical and indelible photographs of our world's cities.
Here are the reasons why TIA left Facebook and never looked back with any regrets.
If it was previously unclear what TIA’s services were and how we can provide photography for your business needs and projects, this entertaining video demystifies any uncertainties or misconceptions! LOCATION TIA International Photography is headquartered in the industrious city of Seattle, Washington, in the United States, where inspirational and captivating images are abundant. FOCUS TIA’s...

The Magnificent Metropolis of Kuala Lumpur! Kuala Lumpur. Christmas Eve. Horrendously hot. Morosely muggy. Extremely engrossing and exciting. During my time in KL*, I remember carrying a handkerchief in my pocket to serve two purposes: either to wipe the sweat from my brow, or defog my eyeglasses given all the moisture in the air. In...

After plenty of research and a few experiments, I have put together my first “real” time-lapse video. I recently purchased a wireless intervalometer and have been experimenting with some time-lapse photography! I call it the “first real time-lapse” because I discovered in my research that I was not compiling the exposures properly in previous videos!... Continue Reading →
Richard Heersmink Greetings everyone! After a long hiatus, TIA International Photography is excited to recommence the Feature Photographer interview series with Richard Heersmink, a remarkable photographer currently based in my favorite city for photography -- Sydney, Australia!

Indila beholds the bewitching city of Paris in the music video, “Dernière Danse" By now, I hope I have established that I’m thoroughly enamored with our world’s biggest (and not so big) metropolises. I am crazy about them. Cities are like people. They have personalities, attitudes, cultures, and a way of life that differs from... Continue Reading →
As a professional photographer headquartered in Seattle, I always enjoy learning the locations from where new customers and potential clients contact TIA, and which images they are interested in licensing. For example, I am currently dealing with (or patiently waiting for, rather) an architecture firm in London for its final decision on which TIA aerial... Continue Reading →
Independence Day in Seattle Hello, everyone! I hope you have all been having an excellent summer (or winter!) in your respective parts of the planet. I have been away for quite some time, but I plan to make the effort to be around much more frequently since I have recently detoxified and purged some long-term... Continue Reading →
"Photographers, know thy printer, for the printer will forever portray your perspective to the world." Comedy of Consecutive Errors A most frustrating situation occurred in early November that has inevitably motivated me to narrate a very exasperating experience with you. This story should be shared because it is a collection of events not dissimilar to... Continue Reading →
Jörn Braasch Greetings everyone! Welcome to TIA’s latest Feature Photographer interview with Jörn Braasch of Anek-Artwork, an extremely talented photographer based in Hamburg, Germany. Not only is Jörn a very skilled night-time, urban landscape photographer, he is a very creative media designer with a specialization in animation and time-lapse photography. I discovered Jörn’s work via... Continue Reading →
Space Needle Enigma In January and February 2013, Seattle experienced some major low-lying fog for several consecutive days. When the fog descended upon Seattle, it literally transformed the city into something rather exotic and, to some extent, alien. Needless to say, it was quite exciting for TIA to capture several scenes around Seattle with this... Continue Reading →
Tuesday, September 11, 2001, remains one of the most surreal and darkest days in world history and human civilization.
José Garrido Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! It’s been nearly four months since the last Feature Photographer interview. During this time, conflicting schedules, vacations, and pure modesty have often been the reasons TIA International Photography has encountered challenges behind recruiting new photographers for the feature interviews. Many photographers who have shied away from the interview will... Continue Reading →
TIA International Photography would like to use this article as a special opportunity to promote two partners who have been integral to promoting TIA in the last year. The first partner is Kirk DeMatas, the author of “Wordspeak” (2008) and, more recently, “Conversations with Skeletons” (2012). TIA provided some photography for “Wordspeak”, and was hired...

Starbucks Coffee Company Headquarters, Seattle Starbucks Coffee Company recently invited me to make a presentation about night photography for its internal photography club.

"Riddle Me This. Riddle Me That. Which Photographer Gets Paid All That?" Recently, PhotoShelter.com presented an intriguing blog topic entitled “Would You Work for Free?” The subject has generated plenty of discussion among photographers who are approached to perform services or contribute their images for little to no compensation at all. Responses included very reproachful... Continue Reading →
Bay Bridge & Embarcadero -- San Francisco, California San Francisco is on my mind at the moment. Since I was a child, I still think it is the most beautiful city in the United States. The Bay, the Bridges, the city, the neighborhoods and, of course, the people -- they each make the city so... Continue Reading →
Is there such a thing as a photographer's code? One topic that has frequently been on my mind is the ethics code among photographers. Does a code actually exist, or is it a figment of a photographer’s imagination? Or perhaps, is it my imagination solely? As human beings, we each have our own codes and... Continue Reading →
Hope Street, Downtown Los Angeles I think it happened somewhere on Hope Street between W. 2nd & W. 3rd Streets, possibly a little after 8pm. It was the fourth day of November in 2011, a Friday night. I was enjoying the urban grid of the streets of LA on what turned out to be a very clear night. ... Continue Reading →

TIA International Photography would like to take a moment to share a promo video from a very good friend, Canadian author Kirk DeMatas, regarding the upcoming published release of his 2nd compilation of profound poetry, “Conversations with Skeletons.” TIA traveled on assignment to Toronto last September to conduct the photo shoot with Kirk and mutual friends. You will see a sample of some of that photography here. (These images are quite different from what you’re used to seeing, which makes Kirk’s project all that more intriguing)! Kirk’s book will premiere this fall! Stayed tuned for more information!
