who is Tero
From humble beginnings, a rented house, $3000.00 capital and no
experience 22 years ago, Tero has become one of Australia’s most
successful photographers and business operators.
Known for his innovative (some say aggressive) marketing, Tero has
promoted successfully in practically every market segment there is from
mass shopping centre portraits, itinerant glamour, to high end boutique
portrait and weddings.
In 2002, Tero launched his now famous children’s coffee table book project which
revolutionized the children’s portrait market in Australia.
Having reached the stage of employing a team of 12, and operating out of 400+ sq. meter state of the art studio in Brisbane, Tero and wife Julie took a step back to re-examine their own business and personal goals in late 2003 and decided to sell their business and make some major changes in their lifestyle.
Based on 22 years experience, they have developed what they feel is the model portrait studio with a strong emphasis on balancing a highly productive studio and lifestyle in Australia’s island state, Tasmania.
