Spotlight Profile with Mariah Tauger

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
