Owner: Teran Buckner Portland • 407-491-5761 PhidoPhotography.com | Est. 2015
Philosophy/Mission: Teran strives to capture unique, beautiful imagery and everlasting memories of his clients’ furry loved ones. He specializes in outdoor scenic locations, but emphasizes the importance of photographing pets in their element, where they’re comfortable and having fun, to let their personalities shine. Combining his artistic vision and low-pressure approach, his ultimate goal is to capture images that go beyond just a standard photograph, creating a stunning keepsake in the form of artwork for his clients’ homes.
Claim to Fame/Signature Product or Service: Teran has been known to be half submerged in rivers, covered in mud and rolling around in snow to get the best shot. If he comes home clean and dry, you know there is something wrong. He’ll get down and dirty to capture the perfect image.
Community Involvement: Helping pets in need was one of Teran’s biggest motivators for starting a pet photography career. He donates a considerable amount of time to organizations such as the Oregon Humane Society, Oregon Dog Rescue, and Angels With Misplaced Wings, to name only a few.
