Originally from Mexico City, Tatiana began taking pictures in 2006 when her now-husband, David, showed her how to shoot with his SLR on a road trip from Canada to California. Quickly, she became passionate about photography while traveling through South and Central America. In 2007, while living in NYC, the couple decided to travel for a year throughout Asia. Their extensive travel list included many countries in the South Pacific, South East Asia, China, and India.

 

During the first four months of the trip, David and Tatiana pursued their love for the ocean and dived almost everyday. Tatiana knew she would enjoy the world of underwater photography and so her true realization of the possibilities of her camera began. By the beginning of 2008, in addition to developing an obsession with underwater photography, she started writing articles for Latin America's largest SCUBA diving magazine, "Espacio Profundo" (Deep Space). After their year of travel came to a close in early 2009, they relocated to the Monterey Bay area where Tatiana fell in love with climbing which became a new fascination to her. Currently she lives in Santa Cruz, CA. The couple still travels frequently. Some of Tatiana's favorite photos came from a trip to Europe last year, which have become part of this exhibition.

 

Tatiana says, "What I try to show with my pictures is that moment when I look at something and I never want to let that feeling go - that feeling I have when I look back at the rocks after a day of climbing, when I discover a treasure spot after walking uphill for a while, or when I see the rarest creature while diving and know I can't take it with me."
