Behind the Lens
Tiffany Bumgardner
Award-Winning Photographer & Founder of Exposure One Studios
Hi, I’m Tiffany—the founder and lead photographer behind Exposure One Studios. At heart, I’m a storyteller who sees the world through light, connection, and the little in-between moments that often say the most.
For over ten years, I’ve photographed everything from quiet portraits and fast-paced equestrian events to editorial stories and personal milestones. Whether it’s the bond between a woman and her horse, the first steps of a foal, or the strength and stillness in a single glance, I’m always chasing that honest, emotive beauty you can feel.
My background in psychology and sociology helps me see people (and animals) not just as subjects, but as layered, complex beings. I approach each session with empathy, patience, and a calm energy that lets people feel seen and comfortable in front of the lens.
I believe the most meaningful photos aren’t always the perfectly posed ones—they’re often the unplanned ones: soft light, shared looks, wind in the mane, stillness between action. That’s where the magic lives.
Based in Ohio, I work with individuals, brands, and events around the world to create timeless, heartfelt imagery. From heirloom portraits to dynamic action shots, my goal is always the same: to create work that’s rooted in soul and story.
Exposure One Studios began as TB Photography back in 2011. It grew into something deeper after a life-changing trip along the Atlantic Rim—a turning point that reshaped how I see the world and the stories I want to tell.
Today, my work has been featured in books, magazines, galleries, museums, and even on billboards. But more than anything, I’m here for the stories that matter—to honor them, preserve them, and see them clearly, one frame at a time.
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.
