First off, I'm honored to be T's first testimonial. I'm surprised he doesn't have a million already. I'll try to keep it short and sweet though. Basically, Tyler is a force to be reckoned with. He's only 17 and he knows way more about photography than most other prosumers. But I don't think I'd categorize Ty as a prosumer; he's more of a professional that's just too young to be professional yet. He works quickly (I've modeled for him), and has a silent calm about him that allows you to relax in front of the lens. He's also the only person I'd allow to work with me if I needed help; I say this because he's incredibly meticulous, and I know I could trust him with anything I needed. Look out for Tyler; he has an eye for telling a story through photos. Simply glance at his gallery and you can't help but agree. This kid's going places.
