Tara Pixley
San Diego, CA, USA
More than fifteen years as a die-hard member of this devoted/passionate/idealistic/arguably insane tribe of people called journalists has seen me work my way through many roles: writer, copy editor, photographer, videographer, assistant managing editor and photo editor. I have shot featurey cover pages for weeklies and perused international news wires for breaking news photography and visually striking web galleries alike. I have spent days in a newsroom studio shooting high-key fashion portraits and followed presidential candidates on the campaign trail. I am as at-home producing big budget reportage commercial shoots as I am assisting photojournalists in navigating tricky situations of access and finding their unique voice.
I am both a Directory of Photography for documentary-style commercials and shorts and a photographer and editor of visual journalism in its various forms, across its multitude of platforms.
