"Eugene Tapahe, Navajo, is a designer, artist and photographer, who specializes in capturing the beautiful landscape and people of the Southwest. He receives inspiration from his grandmother, family, and culture. When Tapahe is on a photo shoot, he feels his ancestors’ presence with him. He feels their love and blessings when he photographs places they once walked. Tapahe hopes you will appreciate his images and stories they tell as he continues his creative journey."
Tapahe recently expressed his reverence for his pursuit in photography, "I have always loved photography, from the first time I picked up a camera. I knew I had a gift for telling stories through my images." It is our hope you will appreciate his images and the stories they tell as he continues his journey.
