Eugene Tapahe

During the first years of my life, my grandmother and I practiced the traditional ways of our ancestors. I learned at an early age the importance of respecting, preserving, and protecting that which is sacred— the land, the water and nature.
I incorporate this love of nature and culture by integrating my education of graphic design and journalism into my photography. Traditionally, my ancestors were storytellers, and I inherited this gift. In photography, as in storytelling, there are disciplines of right and wrong, light and dark. The balance and composition of both define the beauty of my work.
This is my passion, to be the storyteller, to document the spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and the beauty of my culture and people. I want to feel the unseen and to capture it through my personal viewfinder—my heart.
