Brandon Tatum Photography

1/25/2014

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!!

1/29/2014 12:17:52 am

Many thanks for your kind words. You are right, it depends on what it is being used for.

I have to say that I love them all, but I really love the very last one where you are working, but he still captured the warm smile that is so much your signature. Very talented young man indeed

1/29/2014 12:19:22 am

My favorite is the black and white. It is you being you. He is a good photographer but of course he had a beautiful, happy, smiling interesting face/person to photograph.

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!!!

Jackie de Boer link

1/29/2014 09:32:27 am

I like the second one of you laughing, it looks joyful and spontaneous.

Tina link

1/29/2014 09:47:14 am

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.

Marielle Altenor link

1/29/2014 10:15:55 am

That is some really great work. My favorite would have to be the picture of you laughing with your head thrown back. Such an honest photograph. You are glowing!

Diana Foree link

1/29/2014 12:03:07 pm

I love the picture of you laughing. It's so much fun to be caught in photos really enjoying the moment. Lovely work.
