# Jose Tercero > About JoseThe Artist Behind the Lens Hi, I'm Jose Tercero. I am a self-taught portrait photographer who looks at the world through a unique lens. My creative journey is built on an unexpected blend: the analytical precision of science and the emotional depth of storytelling. When I am not immersed in the scientific world, I am translating the energy of people into compelling visual stories. My Philosophy: Soul & Precision I believe a great portrait doesn't just come from a textbook—it comes from passion, instinct, and a dedicated eye for detail. Self-Taught & Passion-Driven: Learning photography independently has allowed me to develop a unique, unboxed style. I rely on raw intuition and a commitment to capturing genuine moments, resulting in high-quality, unforgettable images. The Scientific Twist: My background in science gives me a deep appreciation for lighting geometry and clean composition. I bring technical curiosity and sharp focus to every single session. Dynamic Perspective: Deeply attuned to human expression and fluid movement, I bring a sharp eye and high energy to my work. I know how to capture the poetry of a single, candid moment. Let’s Connect & Create I’m ready to connect and take your picture. Whether you want to capture sharp portraits, natural movement, or dynamic creative shots, I make every session a relaxed, fun collaboration. Let’s create some incredible imagery together—reach out to book your session today. 📍 Based in West Michigan and available for travel. 📩 [DM Me on Instagram or Contact Me Here (616)450-3554 for Pricing & Booking. - Phone: +16164503554 - WhatsApp: +16164503554 - Address: Grand Rapids, MI, USA - Monday: 16:06–19:00 - Tuesday: 17:00–20:00 - Wednesday: 17:00–19:00 - Thursday, Sunday: Closed - Friday, Saturday: 16:00–20:00 Timezone: America/Detroit ## Services - [Portrait Photography](https://josetercerodance.com/services/portrait-photography.md) ## Contact & Social - [instagram](https://instagram.com/josetercerodance) ## Pages - [Home](https://josetercerodance.com/index.md) - [Pricing](https://josetercerodance.com/pricing.md) - [portrait-photography](https://josetercerodance.com/services/portrait-photography.md)
