About Tamea Burd Photography


 


Let's see, what should I tell you? Well...

I love the fine television works of Joss Whedon, although my true TV love will always be the first three seasons of Moonlighting. I know the difference between a Phillips and a Robertson screwdriver. I love the way light makes anything beautiful. I love the smell of wood-smoke on a rainy West Coast autumn evening

The three most breathtaking things I've ever seen are the Grand Canyon, the Chagall Windows at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the full moon shining on the snowy mountains of the Bella Coola Valley.

I love to read Jane Austen but I don't like to get in discussions about it. I love all animals except for rodents - those make me jump on chairs and scream like a girl.

If I were on a desert island, the five cds I'd want with me are: An inflatable one, an edible one, one made of quinine, one made of an emergency blanket and the fifth would be 'Fisherman's Blues' by The Waterboys.

I'll go camping any time of year. My collection of Bonne Bell lip-balm is vast and ever-growing. Dorothea Lange is my favourite photographer and my inspiration. My heroes are Muhammad Ali and Princess Leia. Sometimes I eat ice-cream for breakfast. If I were a Muppet I'm pretty sure I'd be Grover.

But more than anything, what I want you to know about me is that I am a photographer.
My whole life, I've been passionately moved and inspired by beauty. I find and hold the beautiful through the lens of my camera. It's there in moments, in faces and in perfect forms of structure, light and grace.

When I'm taking pictures, I am in my exact right place in the world. It's what I love best. It's what I do best. And that love goes into each and every photo I take.  Whether it's the kiss at your wedding, your hands holding your child, the look on your face when you just start to smile... When I take those pictures for you, it's a moment of sheer joy for me too.

Going Green...

Tamea Burd Photography is digital format photography only. My clients do not receive prints, they receive their images on CD and DVD. Rather than print up hundreds of photographs that may not even be used or needed, I encourage my clients to choose a few favourite photos and to order their own printing or to share their images digitally.

I recycle as many of my materials as possible and use recycled paper for all my business needs. All of my professional and personal lighting is with compact fluorescent bulbs. My supplies are purchased through local vendors whenever possible. I am committed to maintaining an ethical business and environmentally sound practices both personally and professionally.
