"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see"
-Edgar Degas
This statement sums up my approach to photography. Art is not only a passion but a way of life for me, I’m also a Painter, Art Teacher and hold a master’s degree in fine arts. I want to use my artistic skills to serve you and bring you joy. If you decided to hire me you’ll recognize that I approach every photo-shoot as a blank canvas, where memories can be captured for the rest of time. I love capturing my customers in a magical and creative way.
When you receive your photos you’ll be able to recognize that I try to tell a story with every photo I take, you will recognize my ability to take into consideration minute details such as lighting and the way it can impact a face or setting.
I love the opportunity to be creative by finding ways to make my clients look their best. Seeing a client happy gives me the greatest joy. Meeting all sorts of interesting individuals, from all walks of life is pretty awesome. The smiles on faces of skeptical or photo shy clients, after seeing their photos and loving what they see is priceless. I also provide timely and efficient service.
Earl Speid
Photographer/ Founder
Photo-Magique gives the ultimate care and attention to all its clients in a special and unique way. In working with Photo-Magique, I have been able to not only improve my wedding and portrait techniques, but gain valuable experience as a professional. Those professional techniques allow me, in turn to give the same attention and creativity to my own clients.
I have been a professional photographer in the Tampa Bay Area for three years, with my background in fine arts and teaching. The photographers at Photo-Magique have shown excellent customer service, personal skills and time management essential to a professional business. I look forward to future projects and collaborations with this company and highly recommend them for all special occasions!
