My name is Tristan Dumas.  I am the photography/owner/CEO (or whatever job title you want to call me) of Tristan E. Dumas Photography.  I guess you would say Tristan E. Dumas Photography was officially started in June 2010.  After taking pictures for a friend at a local event, I wanted to put my name on the pictures I took so I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 in order to create a logo for my photo's.  I started joking around with my family and friends saying I should start my own photography group on Facebook.  One thing led to another and here I am now with my own little website.

A little about me, I grew up in a small town in central Utah where I had the opportunity to do go outdoors a lot while I was growing up.  I have always enjoyed going up in the mountains and viewing the beautiful scenery Utah has to offer.  I was always a "busy body" and could never sit still at home.   When I turned 19,  I served a two year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ontario, Canada where I purchased  my first digital point-and-shoot camera.  I was impressed with the fact that I could take as many pictures as I wanted without wasting film.  I carried my camera everywhere I went.  One of the area's I served in was Niagara Falls and I had the opportunity to visit the falls quite often while I was there.  I loved how beautiful they were to photograph and since then, I have always wanted to save up money to purchase a nice SLR camera but never thought I would be able to do so.  After I got back from my mission, I attended college and started working.  I became good friends with one of my co-workers and one day, he purchased a SLR camera which made me want one even more. 

At the beginning of 2010, I finally was able to save enough money to purchase a Canon Rebel XSi 12.2 Mega Pixel digital SLR camera.  This was a major upgrade for me and I was excited to begin taking pictures with it.  My friend and I went on several "photo-shoots" just driving around taking nature pictures in the mountains nearby.  I later had some other friends ask if I could take some family pictures for them.  This added to my interest in photography.  I purchased several camera accessories, including additional lenses, remotes, and other items for my camera to help take better pictures.  Over the years, I have had the opportunity to practice my photography skills and take pictures of a lot of different things, including lightning, waterfalls, people, and wildlife.  I was also recently asked to take photographs of my two older boys football team as they played 3rd grade tackle football.  That was a pretty fun experience for me.

I hope you take a moment to view the photo's that I have taken.  ​​Please remember that all images are protected by copyright law and are copyright of Tristan E. Dumas Photography.  Images should not be reproduced without written consent.
