Meet the Business Owner

Drew T.

Business Owner

I was graduated from Western Kentucky University with a BA in Photojournalism, and have worked for five newspapers in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi. I’ve been a professional photographer for over twenty-​five years, and have been director of photography for two award-​winning daily newspapers. I led the visual effort of the (Biloxi, MS) Sun Herald’s Pulitzer Prize-​winning coverage of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In addition, I was director of photography for «beachblvd» magazine, an award-​winning lifestyle magazine on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In 2012, I started my own business, Tarter Photographic Services, and I specialize in commercial, editorial and fashion photography.
