 Images copyright Mariah Tauger. All rights reserved.  Chamira Young and I, together with PhotoShelter, for the last four months have been hosting a podcast series called Beyond Technique. The response has been terrific, and there's a new episode each month. In a world where great content is "King," each guest has shared some remarkable and candid insight into their careers, the industry and the challenges of running a business. About the same time as the launch of Beyond Technique, I had some fun of my own and started wandering through the websites of PhotoShelter's members. I found a hidden gem in their New Member Shoutouts. Each Shoutout features a new member of the family, and it's the perfect reminder of how much they all share the passion for the craft. This week I was looking at the work of Mariah Tauger, a Los Angeles based commercial/editorial photographer with amazing diversity. In fact, I had a hard time picking just one representative image, so I picked three! But it wasn't just the variety of work she shared that grabbed my attention, but the quality of the images themselves - whether being whimsical or serious, photographing people, food or still life Mariah never compromises on the final presentation. I especially liked the simplicity of her "About" page, which surprised me. She's completely moved away from the usual background information or exclamations of passion for the craft. Instead she shares a piece of her soul with the following poem by Rupi Kaur, followed by a small list of impressive clients. You tell me to quiet down cause my opinions make me less beautiful but i was not made with a fire in my belly so i could be put out i was not made with a lightness in my tongue so i could be easy to swallow i was made heavy half blade and half silk difficult to forget butnot easy for the mind to follow  Click on any one of Mariah's three images to see more of her work.
