Harvey Tillis — Rendezvous Arts

I grew up on the original black & white LIFE magazine, fascinated by new picture stories every week, strongly influenced by photos of people and places, by light and graphic design. That’s where my concept of photography formed and where my desire grew to become a photographer even though my studies and direction were toward business. I held marketing, management, financial and technology positions in other professions, yet nothing meant as much to me as creating well crafted meaningful images. So I changed direction.

I have been a self-taught freelance photographer for over 40 years. Commercially, I apply my photojournalistic style and fine art sense of design to the capture of environmental portraits, events, and documentary projects for a variety of nonprofits, corporate clients, and government agencies who value my eye and the way I approach their assignments. I consider myself a partner with clients, helping them to maximize the strategic power of pictures. My images are used for communications, image building, PR, marketing, and income development.

In addition, for the past 10 years I have been creating original photo art, fine art photography, for sale from my studio, my web sites and through a few select online galleries.
