Portrait & Fine Art Photography
For over 30 years the Tampa Bay area has been home to American photographer and photo collage artist, Marian Tagliarino.
I have a passion for learning and honing my craft. I continue my education and exposure to photography and photographic art. The Morean Arts Center, attended PPA Conventions and Photo Expo New York, AIPAD, NYC, Art Basel, Miami. Famed photographer Dennis Stock was a mentor to me and I have studied under Sam Abel, David Alan Harvey, Chris Buck, Bruce Dale, Arthur Myerson and Sylvia Plachy. Carolyn Feldman and Susan Andrews: The Oiseaux Sisters, renowned collage and craft artists, have been instrumental in leading me into the collage world.
I am currently focusing on fine art, travel and portrait photography, while continuing my involvement in the community.
