Tracey Tomtene

Photographer. Artist. Seeker. Yogi. Hugger of Seas n' Trees!

I grew up and have lived in various parts of Western Canada and also made temporary homes abroad in the UK and New Zealand. Although I studied business in university, it was a black and white darkroom photography course that would drastically change my course and bring me where I am today.

After working in the corporate world for several years, I finally began my journey as a full time photographer by quitting my day job as a Communications Manager and traveling through SE Asia and NZ in 2008; an excellent decision! Since returning, I have continued to shoot portrait, street and travel photography, intent on developing a prolific style that captivates and evokes emotion.

UPDATE: April, 2018
I have moved to Madrid, Spain to pursue a Master in Contemporary Photography. I will continue to sell my photography prints and clothing but the jewelry portion of my shop has been closed down at least for the year that I am away.

Prints can be ordered on professional paper, canvas, metal, wood or acrylic. Please message me if you are having trouble deciding and I can help you choose the best medium for the image:)

Photo clothing is made with fabric manufactured in Canada and sewn by hand in Montreal, QC! The images printed on the clothing were taken by me locally in Vancouver, BC and beyond! Made using EcoPoly, a production process that uses significantly less water than other polyester production processes and printed using solvent free sublimation inks that will not fade after washing. The fabric is 88% polyester and 12% spandex and compression fit, hugging the wearer in all the right places, even after multiple wearings.

When not photographing or makin’ stuff, I am torturing myself in a hot yoga studio, daydreaming, reading, writing or visiting far off lands (where I feel most at home).

'I believe that there is art in every living moment even those that appear prosaic or mundane. I never cease to be amazed by the honesty of the human spirit, spontaneous moments balanced by a quiet affinity and the profundity to be found in even the most fleeting, everyday occurrence. To me, it is all iconic and extraordinary, worth capturing and immortalizing.'

Yes I do take wholesale orders! A minimum order of $300 and proof of business licence is required.
