Teal is a travel, hotel, and lifestyle photographer based in Los Angeles. She works with boutique and luxury travel and hospitality brands around the world to create transportive images that inspire travelers to dream of their next trip.
With a keen eye for detail, color, and natural light, she creates original imagery for editorial and commercial clients across the genres of travel & lifestyle, architecture, and still life.
The need to travel was instilled in her at a young age. Growing up in a family of architects, artists and travelers, she developed a strong sensibility for capturing the relationship between design and environment. Before she learned how to make a photograph, she learned how to be a traveler. Travel is when she is most engaged, most inspired and most challenged.
Teal’s transportive images capture the unique beauty and feeling of a place through organic frames that feel candid yet polished. Warm natural light permeates her photographs and the fleeting moments of travel seem suspended in time.
Teal was recently named one of Architectural Digest’s 100 Approved Photographers.
