Welcome to Ty Phillips Photography. I'm Tyree Phillips, Professional Photographer, and Support Hero at SmugMug! Please feel free to browse the galleries and enjoy! You can click on the links above to navigate through my site.

As a frustrated saxophone player in the early 90s, I started photographing other sax players to study the type of equipment they were using. I developed the ability to capture the decisive moment during a performance and that ability laid the groundwork for my portraiture work. Today I capture decisive moments for my clients in my studio.

Primarily a portrait photographer, I enjoy creating images that evoke a mood or feeling at that perfect moment in time. What I see through the lens is how I view the world and all of the beauty it has to offer. Please enjoy the galleries and perhaps you will give me the opportunity to capture your decisive moment.

I am a member in good standing with the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International, (WPPI) and I’ve participated in seminars and studied with some of the finest professionals in photography; Clay Blackmore, Ed Pierce, Bruce Dorn, Greg Gorman, and Eddie Tapp.
