Hi there! My name is Tatiana, and I'm a photographer with over 12 years of experience in the industry. I have a passion for photography and specialize in capturing people, particularly in creating branded portraits for experts in the online world and family portraits. I received my training at the St. Petersburg School of Photography in 2010, where I gained not only technical skills but also an understanding of how to effectively present professionals to achieve marketing goals. Additionally, I hold a Masters degree in Advertising, which provides me with valuable insights into creating strong visual images. Being a mother of three children, I deeply understand the value of family portraits. I genuinely believe in the power of family connections and strive to capture emotions and moments that will be cherished by our clients for years to come. I am fully committed to my craft and aim to create high-quality and meaningful photographs that evoke emotions and tell unique stories.

I am an Oakland-based portrait and lifestyle photographer. I've always been fascinated by stories and the emotions that make them so moving and memorable. Perhaps this is why I chose to study Journalism and Communication in the early millennium. That time in college solidified my passion for visual storytelling and photography. As the decade progressed, I advanced my professional career in my home country, Brazil, working with the Press Office and Marketing, where I had numerous opportunities to use my photography skills in corporate events and branding shoots. Today, I am content and fulfilled because I am able to work directly with my clients and tell their stories with the same professionalism and a lot more love.

Versatile in working with multiple creative teams and have extensive experience with Art and Creative Directors as well as Marketing executives. 2.

Ok, so Matt is not the best photographer on Snappr. That's because he's also the CEO of Snappr, so he doesn't have as much time to shoot as he'd like. But if you're a fan of "Undercover Boss" vibes and/or can't find anyone else, he'll do you a half-good event shoot. Specializes in low-light, naturally lit event shoots at nighttime.

Photographer

How did you get started with photography

I began my photographic journey while studying abroad in Amsterdam in 2008. I had purchased my first dSLR for the trip and found myself behind the viewfinder most of the time instead of practicing music (the reason I was there).

What do you love about your job?

I love meeting new people and forming a bond between me and my subjects, even if it's only for a brief time. It's challenging to photograph people you don't know in a way that makes your subject look honest and true. There's a level of trust that must be achieved before this can happen, and I enjoy creating that relationship. That's what I strive to do with my portraits and whenever photographing people.

What are some of your favorite places in San Francisco to take photographs?

There are so many great places in San Francisco to photograph. Some of my favorites include: Marshall's Beach, Crissy Field, Land's End, Golden Gate Park, North Beach, Fort Mason, and many other parks and neighborhoods that dot the SF landscape.
