Someone
once said, “Find your passion, and work won’t seem like
work”. That is how I feel when I am behind the camera.
I can get lost in the creative process that captures a
moment in time and records it for eternity. I think of
images such as Dorothea Lange’s “Migrant Mother”. The
old adage ‘A picture speaks a thousand words’ is
especially true in Ms. Lange’s photo shoot depicting the
desperation of a mother during the depression.
My
interest in photography was sparked with my darkroom
experience as a Radiologic Technologist. After moving
to California in 1998, I quit the x-ray business and
began taking photography courses. I soon learned that I
not only loved the process of developing my own
photographs, I had talent behind the camera as well. I
joined the local photography club and met some wonderful
and talented individuals who helped me to hone my
skills.
In 2004 I
started Tylene Trout Photography. Being a small
business owner has been a very rewarding and sometimes
challenging experience. I have several shows a year
selling mostly travel and floral photography. I have
been fortunate to travel extensively and love the
diversity of the people and landscapes. Living in
southern California, I also have excellent access to the
coastal wonders as well as the desert palette of color
each spring.
I have
been blessed to receive many awards for my photographic
work. Most recently I was honored to win a my second “Best
of Show” for a photograph depicting an available-light
portrait of ninety-one year old “Alice” and in 2005 I
won an “HM” for “Coastal Fog” in the Smithsonian
Magazine. Be sure to visit the gallery section of
my website to see these and many other award winners.
The website is updated regularly so visit often. I
welcome your comments and hope you enjoy these “moments
in time” as much as I did capturing them.
