Award-Winning Director & Photographer | Tyler Stableford
As an award-winning director and photographer, I have dedicated my career to capturing the boldness of the human experience through documentaries, commercials, and stills campaigns. My work employs dynamic lighting and handheld camera techniques to infuse emotion into every project, earning recognition as one of the most sought-after professionals in the field. Over two decades, I've collaborated with global brands like Apple, Adidas, Patagonia, and The North Face, creating provocative commercials that transport viewers into immersive narratives. My fine-art projects, including The Farmers and The Dancers, have been featured in prestigious platforms like Communication Arts and Sports Illustrated.Beyond commercial success, I hold nine Telly Awards and an Emmy nomination, with work showcased at Sundance and other renowned film festivals. In 2023, I expanded my expertise by becoming a licensed psychotherapist, offering ketamine-assisted therapy and trauma-focused treatment, bringing a unique depth to my storytelling. My commitment to nonprofit work includes volunteering with CASA and supporting education through the Book Buddy program. With a career rooted in photojournalism since 1996, I continue to bridge visual storytelling with therapeutic insights to create impactful narratives.
