Behind the Lens
Tiffany Bumgardner
Award-Winning Photographer & Founder of Exposure One Studios
As the founder and lead photographer of Exposure One Studios, I am devoted to the art of visual storytelling—capturing connection, presence, and authenticity through natural light and intentional imagery.
With over a decade of experience spanning portraiture, action photography, and editorial work, I create timeless, emotive images that honor the relationships and moments that matter most. Whether it’s the quiet bond between woman and horse, the instinctive connection of mare and foal, the dynamic energy of equestrian sport, or the strength of an individual, my work is grounded in sincerity and a reverence for honest, unfiltered beauty.
My academic background in psychology and sociology informs my approach to every subject—not as a posed figure, but as a complex human story. This perspective fosters a calm, intuitive process built on trust, empathy, and an eye for nuance. I believe the most powerful photographs emerge from the in-between moments—the fleeting glances, shifting light, and stillness that reveal profound truth.
Based in Ohio and available for worldwide travel, I collaborate with individuals, brands, and equine events to craft imagery that is both artistically rich and emotionally resonant. From heirloom portraits to high-impact action shots, my mission remains steadfast: to capture depth, connection, and soul, preserving these moments for generations to come.
Originally launched in 2011 as TB Photography, my creative journey transformed into Exposure One Studios following a life-changing journey along the Atlantic Rim. This evolution reflects a global perspective and a renewed dedication to seeing with clarity—one frame at a time.
My work has been featured in books, magazines, museums, galleries, and billboards worldwide. Wherever the story leads, I bring a profound love for the craft, meticulous attention to detail, and a lifelong devotion to the art of intentional seeing.
Live in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire. Rely on your heart and instincts to help guide you and smile at those who stand in your way. Trust in yourself always.
