TAI BURSEY
About

Hi, I'm Tai.

portrait
The short version

I'm a photographer based in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. I shoot commercial, weddings, food, and editorial.

I grew up in Vermont and moved to New York for art school. I worked as a second shooter at a wedding studio in Williamsburg for three years before going on my own in 2022.

I shoot mostly on a Leica M11 with a 50mm Summilux. For interiors I add a Fuji GFX and a tilt-shift. I work slowly, with a small crew, and I'm happiest in a room that hasn't quite started its day yet.

When I'm not shooting I'm probably running in Prospect Park or making the same pasta on a Tuesday.
