Tara Donne is a commercial photographer and director creating honest, human-centered campaigns for global brands.

She is known for her clear, confident leadership on set and her intuitive approach to storytelling, bringing focus to each production while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and collaborative.

Her work encompasses both stills and motion, creating cohesive campaigns and image libraries across food, beverage, and lifestyle. She directs motion campaigns independently and frequently integrates both disciplines within a single production.

Whether a scene is carefully built or discovered in the moment, the result feels lived-in, grounded, and intentional. She moves easily between real-world settings and constructed environments, attentive to how light, color, gesture, and detail shape a clear visual voice.

Tara received a BFA in Art Photography from Syracuse University and later worked as a photo editor at domino, Real Simple, and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Based in New York, she works across the U.S. and internationally, partnering with major brands including Amazon, Heinz, Coca-Cola, Google, and Campbell’s on campaigns that span print, digital, and emerging platforms.
