Brandon Tatum Photography

1/25/2014

72 Comments

 
In the past couple of months many people have complimented me on my photos and have asked the question, “who is the person taking them?”  It is for this reason that I thought it would be nice to introduce you to my photographer, Brandon Tatum.  Below this post I’ve included some of his prized work.  We would love to know what you think!  Which one is your favorite?

Brandon Tatum
Bio:  Brandon Tatum specializes in documenting the creative process of an author’s spirit through pictures. He believes writers are interesting people and that there is more to author photography than positioning one in front of a bookshelf. Brandon’s work invites you into a novel’s different social backdrops and visually connects the author to their work. In the past year, he created engaging author/book promotional material for Yvonne Brown.  This included filming the Crying Girl book trailer and shooting various eye-catching poses, which caught the eye of plus size fashion conglomerate, Lane Bryant.  Currently, Brandon is preparing a cross-country photo tour covering a host of literary festivals and conferences.

I like your January 2014 and the Spring and September 2013. I guess the best photo would depend on what the photo is being used for. He does a great job. Then again, you have to look at his subject!!

It's really hard to say which one I like the best. They are all different and offer a different perspective you... from the use of colors or lack of color, to angles, and backgrounds. They are all very well done!!!

I went through these again this evening and I must admit I still prefer the first one! I prefer the black and white photo because of the shadows that color photos simply can't duplicate.
