Some of you may be asking, what IS commonly different? And how do I join? It has been a long time in the making, and a formulation of friendship + hardwork + artistic talent + grand ideas = Commonly Different. It is an experience, a lifetstyle, a business, and more importantly a network of great photographers supporting each other in a local and national field. While the best way to learn more about each artist is by clicking the links to their individual page, here are some photos of the artist’s themselves.

A lot of questions are asked about what makes an artist. But more than that, what makes an artist an Icon. The answer is simple. Vision, heart, skill and detail are important to an artist in the images they create, but what separates an artist from an Icon is the emotion that goes into, and is felt in an image.

The following artists are not just artists, but Icons as well.

As artists we are individuals. As friends we are all photographers, drawn together through common interest. As business owners we are each unique, yet share common goals to offer the highest standard in wedding photography serving Lake Tahoe and destinations worldwide. We push ourselves and each other to capture life through our lenses. We all see through different lenses. Commonly Different.
