“State of Independence”

July 5, 2014 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

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 poisons in my professional and personal life! In the meantime, please enjoy a short time-lapse video of the US’ Independence Day celebrations observed here in Seattle last night. This […]

“Know Thy Printer. . .”

December 3, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

“Photographers, know thy printer, for the printer will forever portray your perspective to the world.” 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 a comedy of consecutive errors. Even though the story has a relatively pleasant conclusion, the lessons, I would opine, were accrued during the plot between the prologue and epilogue. […]

Feature Photographer Interview: Jörn Braasch

October 27, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

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 Flickr about four years ago and have been a tremendous fan ever since. Over the years, we have kept in touch, either discussing our latest projects and […]

Seattle’s “Fog Affair”, The Sequel

October 24, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

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 new, obscure ambiance hovering above the city! Seattle typically does not have thick, mystifying fog lingering around for several days. As a result, these everyday scenes one would […]

Taking a Moment to Remember. . .

September 10, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

New York was my home from 1998 to 2000. I used to commute to my job in Midtown via the World Trade Center everyday. The observation deck in the South Tower was my favorite spot in the city and I would take all my visitors there. I remember the queue for observation was never as notorious as the one at the Empire State Building. I enjoyed taking my friends who were native New Yorkers to the top of the WTC […]

Feature Photographer Interview: José Garrido

July 29, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

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 be approached again because TIA truly believes their work is magnificent and should be shared and showcased. There is so much unrecognized talent in photography that TIA […]

Photographing Skeletons

July 10, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

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 exclusively to do the photography for “Conversations with Skeletons”. In 2013, The Seattle Grind, an independently owned coffee shop in Seattle, has been showcasing framed […]

An Intro to Night Photography

April 18, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Starbucks Coffee Company recently invited me to make a presentation about night photography for its internal photography club. It was a terrific event for which I had nearly a month to prepare. I was never nervous once until a few seconds after the presentation started on April 9th. A bout of apprehensiveness struck me, which was really all in my head. Nothing unfortunate or embarrassing occurred! Fortunately, I had a very good-natured and engaging audience. After a brief microphone sound-check […]
