Hey, I’m Tyler Stauffer, a diabetic photographer. I earned the nickname “type1tstau” in high school from the diagnosis I received when I was 9-years-old — and thus my Instagram handle.

After earning a degree in natural resource tourism from Colorado State University, I naturally chose to transition into photography post-ski-bum-failed-police-academy-failed-realtor-exam, and I have never loved doing anything more.

I love every aspect and genre of photography, but I especially excel in the adventure-lifestyle space, as well as in automotive and product photography.

I work best when capturing candid moments that feel natural, so if you’re looking to grow your business through quality photos and videos that actually feel true to you and your brand while hyping up others on your product, I would love to talk about how I could create awesome content for you!

When I’m not photographing, you’ll find me working on my truck or dirt bike, vlogging with my wife, getting beers with the boys, skiingfishinghuntinggolfing, and playing chess.
