Meet Tennile Friday

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tennile Friday.

Hi Tennile, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I have had a passion for photography since my childhood. My first camera was a Polaroid 800. I would love taking pictures of animals nature and especially candid family pictures. As I got older, I wanted to do more with cinematography and screenwriting, but after having children I decided to pick back up where I left off with still photography, that’s when I decided to invest my creative energy on TFPhotpgraphy where I’ve done wedding, and family photography.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s definitely been a long road with trying to figure out the best camera equipment to choose and gaining clientele in an industry that is booming with new photographers. I had to reacclimate myself back into the industry after my divorce, and it was then that I realized how much camera operations had changed. I had to learn how to operate DSLR cameras which have way more options than my old Nikon had. All the lighting and framing courses soon came back to me and I finally started to get back in my groove.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I take wedding and family photographs. I am most known for my candid shots. I can capture precious moments that we would ordinarily forget. I would say I specialize in wedding photography. I’m most proud of the way I use nature and natural lighting to produce a photo session where there’s not much editing needed. The thing that sets me apart from others is my ability to literally make each of my photos speak a thousand words. I can tell your story with just a few clicks of my camera lens.

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The most important thing that I’ve learned is to not compete with others in the industry and to learn from them. And I always keep in mind that I’m only as good as my last photoshoot. Each day I compete to be better at my craft than the day before.
