About the Photographer
Portrait of the Photographer
Internationally-exhibited, Award-winning photography.
In business since 1998, Michele Taras' specialization has long been portrait photography. Taras' photographs capture the essence of her subject's personality and moods. Taras has recently evolved into a new type of photography, which is more abstract and artistic, and includes what she refers to as "the moving portrait."
Taras graduated from Sheridan College and obtained the distinction of "Sheridan Scholar" in recognition of her high achievement. She as well graduated from the acclaimed New York Institute of Photography.
Michele Taras has been recognized through various prestigious international photography awards, including the PX3 awards based out of Paris, France, and the IPA International Lucie Awards based out of the USA. Taras has also been published in Photo Life, Canada's leading photography magazine, The Toronto Star, The Toronto Sun, and The Canadian Nurse's Journal among other publications.
In addition to her photographic talents, Taras also contributes significantly to the community, raising over $14 000.00 for breast cancer research through exhibits of her breast cancer photography, and belonging to the group "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep."
Taras says: "The essence of good photography is the ability to see the extraordinary in even
the simplest of things; to capture a moment in time and transform it into a
work of art."
