my Story

Hi, my name is Tara Todras-Whitehill

I’m an award-winning visual storyteller and communications consultant.

When I was 28 years old, I moved to the Middle East to become a photojournalist. I landed in Beirut on February 14th, 2005. Ten hours later, a massive car bomb went off and killed the former Lebanese minister Rafik Hariri. Right then, I had to make a decision: Run toward the massive explosion or run away. I ran toward it. I took a lot of pics at the scene of the bombing, but I couldn't sell even one photo to the news agencies. Why? I had a couple of good images of the attack, BUT I didn’t know how to tell the whole story of what was happening around me. That was 15 years ago. During my career I have been a staff photographer for the largest wire service in the world, run my own communications agency and worked with the top NGOs and news outlets -- I know what makes a good visual story.

And now I want to help YOU elevate your storytelling chops.

FAQs

How can this program help my communications team?

Many communications teams struggle with creating engaging visual stories. It can be a combination of reasons: lack of time, not understanding the most impactful mediums for your stories, or not planning out what you need from your team. If this sounds familiar then a workshop is for you.

When can I expect results?

I’m not going to say that your team will be fantastic visual storytellers overnight, but there are a lot of skills we can put into action immediately. That way everyone will be working in lockstep to create awesome, engaging content.

How many people can attend a workshop?

We can create a workshop for as many or as few people as you want. Depending on the size there may be more than one instructor to make sure everyone gets the individual attention they need.

Can other people outside our communications team attend the workshop?

Certainly! We will adjust to the people attending to make sure everyone comes away with actionable skills. It can be very helpful to have other people at your organization come to the workshop so that everyone is working in sync to create great visual content.

Become the visual storyteller that your work deserves. I look forward to helping you make an impact with your newfound skills.
