In the words of those we’ve worked with.
I've been working with Joe for several years through Christie's auction house, where he steps in for bespoke fine art shoots. Joe is always a total delight to work with, and his expertise shines immediately. He can adjust very well to the needs of the objects, which ultimately means everything ends up looking exactly the way it should. Looking forward to working with Joe more!

Working with Joe is always a privilege because he truly understands the nuance of fine art photography. He has a rare eye for detail, translating texture and depth in a way that makes images feel rich across any screen. He always delivers his best work, even when capturing in-residence under challenging conditions. His personal passion for art is a bonus.

It was a pleasure working with Joe Tanis on a comprehensive, high-resolution photography project documenting an extensive fine-art collection across multiple locations. Throughout the project, he was consistently professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. He communicated clearly, worked efficiently, and demonstrated exceptional attention to detail while handling each piece with the utmost care and respect. The final images exceeded our expectations. The quality of his work was outstanding and accurately captured the beauty and detail of the collection. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled, reliable, and professional fine art photographer.

I worked with Joe during my time at Christie's New York in the Impressionist and Modern Art and Latin American Art departments. Joe always worked with a high level of efficiency and professionalism, and we were always pleased with the outcome of projects. Joe is capable of handling an impressively wide range of projects at a high level. I continue to keep Joe in my contacts as photography opportunities arrive at kurimanzutto gallery.
