Michael T Photography – The Photographers

Michael Tenaglia is the co-owner of Michael T Photography & Design Inc. and the principle photographer.  He has been in his field  for over 15 years starting when his passion for painting and artful expression  stemmed into the world of photography.  Long before digital photography became the norm, Michael worked with some of Toronto’s best photographers in all the major studios.  Using medium and large format cameras, Michael’s knowledge of photography is truly based in the very fundamentals and science of capturing a photograph.

A world traveller, Michael’s way of capturing unsuspecting people’s naked emotions is a talent that has been fine-tuned after years of observing different cultures.  His calming presence and quiet confidence comes from knowing that every photo he captures will be beautiful no matter what the circumstance or the conditions may be.  His passion for his work comes from the endless pursuit of the most amazing photograph he can capture.  His dedication to his craft comes from the soul of a true artist.

When asked which area of photography which he enjoys the most – product, food, fashion, golf, real estate, jewelry, corporate events or weddings – Michael is always left stumped and compares picking one area over the others to picking his favorite camera…a nearly impossible task!  Every area has it’s challenges, and in them, their successes.

When in need of down time, Michael returns to painting.  The process of taking oil paint and making a memory appear on canvas is his original passion and the fire that lights every aspect of his life.

Sandra Grilo Tenaglia is the co-owner of Michael T Photography & Design Inc. and also a photographer.  After spending a few years in the corporate world in the public relations field, Sandra decided that funneling her creative energy into photography was they way to professional and personal happiness.  Along with her husband Michael, Sandra took an uncertain step into the world of business ownership and opened Michael T Photography.  Having a life-long love of weddings made wedding photography a natural and perfect fit and gave her an avenue for expression of her love of photography and of all things beautiful.

On the corporate side of photography, knowing the ins and outs of the corporate world has given Sandra the upper hand in working with the company’s corporate clients and insight into their tight timelines and budgets.

These days, Sandra spends her time with their beautiful baby boy soaking up every moment of baby bliss.  She’s still active in the office and in dealing with clients, but leaves the photography work to the other talented photographers in the company.

Mike Causi has always been dedicated to “capturing the moment”.  This drive became more intense, over 10 years ago, with the birth of his first child.  His passion started in film, progressed to point-and-shoot digital
and culminated when he purchased his first professional Nikon DSLR.  He has experimented in videography but discovered his true creative expression in still-photography many years ago.Professionally trained as a software architect (designing and developing large corporate and small private web applications), Mike has a natural mix of business, art and science that has served him well in the dynamic field of professional photography.  His love of continuously learning is evident in his attendance at professional development events, his field experimentation and his daily research and reading.  Studying the physics of light and imagery came naturally to Mike and he has been able to express this wonder in a very personal way with all of his subjects.

Photography has focused Mike’s attention to our world in a new light.  No detail is too small or too large – he constantly sees things from a new angle, perspective or vantage point.  In visualizing the moment, photography allows Mike to appreciate light, distance and time in new ways.

For Mike, it’s not just about the picture.  It’s a workflow and a journey.  He pays great attention to detail and demonstrates the ability to focus on several tasks at once – focus on the subject, focus on the equipment, focus on the environment.  Always be prepared – from setting up before a shoot right through to the post-production process.

Mike’s love and appreciation for people, places and our environment is expressed clearly in his personal and professional photography.
