ABOUT

One year. That’s how long this self-taught artist has focused his talent through a lens. In that short time, Tage has learned to use a camera like a paintbrush. Maybe that’s because the canvas is where his story begins. The son of a traditional artist, Tage developed an eye for shade and shadow while watching his mom paint at the kitchen table. Soon, he was adding his own bold strokes to her work. As his passion for the arts grew, his creativity took flight on its own, spawning unpredictable portraits and unexpected scenes. When he discovered photography, he found the catalyst for his unique vision. The camera – combined with his computer skills - freed a love for glamour combined with offbeat concepts. Fashion photography “represents the best we can be,” Tage says. The results are breakaway - images that grab crowds and drop jaws. Warning: Models who work with this photographer better be game.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT RAW

I love that Raw gives artists the opportunity to display their work and get out with the public and network with each other. As a photographer most people only see my work in digital form. Raw allows people to view something tangible.

MAKES MY WORLD GO ROUND

Besides my camera? Any music from Trent Reznor can get me through pretty much everything!
