SELECTED BY ARCHIVE MAGAZINE - 200 BEST AD PHOTOGRAPHERS WORLDWIDE FOR 2021, '23, '24, 25, & '26
I see myself first and foremost as a storyteller. The difference is, my photographs do the speaking.
As a commercial photographer for over 25 years, my passion is composing photographs that speak about the subject powerfully and memorably. I’m especially drawn to locations and backgrounds that complement the subject yet recede just enough to ensure the subject dominates the image.
Since growing up in Houston, Texas and spending many days in and around my father’s printing company, I’ve been drawn to the meticulous details of quality craftsmanship. From those days of operating an offset press at the age of 15, I’ve carried lessons learned there into my photography business. My experiences have built in me a true love of both the technical and artistic sides of my craft. I believe it’s the balance of both that lead to images that resonate and remain with the viewer. In this age of digital media and the constant bombardment of visual clutter, it’s never been more important to craft imagery that speaks in an elegant and unique manner. Whether it’s a single image or a series, I live to create images that tell my client’s story uniquely and unforgettably.
Over my career, my love of photography has taken me throughout the globe. I’ve told the stories—through photographs and books—of sheep farms in New Zealand, a Bourbon maker in Kentucky, the Lobstermen of Little Cranberry Island, Maine and American Craftsmen of all stripes, among others. I live in beautiful Grapevine, Texas, along with my wife Rebecca and our two children, Noah and Annalise.

We’ve partnered with him and his wonderful crew on two major projects, and each time he has elevated our brand beyond what we ever imagined. His eye for detail, composition, and authenticity brings warmth, craft, and story to an industry that’s often hard to capture beautifully. Tadd is also a joy to work with — professional, collaborative, and genuinely invested in getting it right. I could not recommend him more and cannot wait for our next project together.”

Tadd is an incredibly talented photographer and a wonderful partner overall."
Jamie Lucas - President & Account Director - Squires & Co. Design

His photos visualize a company’s story with clarity, confidence, and craft.”

As a Creative Director, I dream about partners who just get it, and he not only gets it, Tadd makes it better. Every project we’ve tackled together has resulted in imagery that feels authentic, aspirational, and full of story.”

“Tadd has an incredible talent for making food feel alive. He notices details others miss and turns them into something visually striking. The work is thoughtful, intentional, and full of depth. You can almost taste the texture and temperature in his shots. He brings a point of view that transforms simple ingredients into storytelling. Working with him is effortless and the results speak for themselves.”
Todd Tucker - Co-founder, Poke The Bear
“Tadd’s book, Portraits Of The American Craftsman, could have just been a collection of self-portraits. Because that’s what Tadd is – a Craftsman of the highest order. Anyone can make an epic sunset on an epic beach look epic. Only Tadd can make everyone and everything from a lobsterman to a corporate suit, to a sheep dog on a backhoe, look, well, epic.”
