About me
Born in a small German village, Frankie Tresser grew up in Portland, Oregon, where her affinity for photography blossomed. She was captivated by the camera in 2016, entranced by its power to document and express her view of the world. Trained in fine arts, including illustration, sculpture, and painting, Frankie ingeniously fuses these skills into her photographic work, creating a unique blend of artistry. Her work spans across diverse genres, from intimate portraits to expansive landscapes, from product shots to fashion photography. Each image she captures is imbued with a creative perspective, her keen eye discerning minute details often overlooked. On set, Frankie’s calm and engaging personality radiates positive energy, fostering an environment conducive to capturing genuine, heartfelt photographs.
Frankie continued her education in photography at Mt. Hood Community College, where she graduated with a degree in Integrated Media Photography. Since then she has been involved in various projects, including as a Photographic Contributor in All Classical’s Anthology book in which her work is featured.
