Hey there! My name is Tabatha Tarafa | @Tabertures

My journey behind the lens actually started at my local ice rink. Before photography, I was a competitive figure skater, and I was always drawn to everything that made a performance feel like an experience—the lights, the costumes, the energy in the crowd, and especially the music. That fascination eventually led me to pick up a camera and start shooting for my rink's hockey team.

As life moved through college and into adulthood, I found my way back to photography through the music industry, where Tabertures (Tab + Apertures) was born! Working alongside artists and live events reignited the passion that first started at the rink, and it's continued to inspire my work ever since.

Today, my style is intimate, cinematic, and bold. Whether I'm shooting artists, live performances, brands, or people, my goal has always been the same: to capture images that reflect the feeling of the moment.
