Tara Welch

Tara Welch’s images look like a party you want to attend. “I am always, always, always striving for a photo that has a laugh or tenderness to it,” she says—and it shows. “I enjoy smaller, more humbling moments of the day: a bride eating a simple turkey sandwich her mom made, the first gin and tonic after the ceremony…” Lately the digital photographer—who graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in printmaking—has been experimenting with double exposure, but it’s the quirk and fun that make her images distinct.
