The Man Behind
The Camera
Welcome to Captures By TK Photo & Film

I love both creating deliciously engaging content for my clients as well as cultivating a community of food lover and photographers alike. This creative space is both a portfolio and educational hub. Whichever reason brought you here, I welcome you to this food-loving community.
