Ty Ford (Ty Ford Audio & Video)

My mother bought me my first audio tape recorder when I was nine years old. I was transfixed. I was consumed. I was transformed into someone who recorded sound and was mesmerized by its playback. 

She was also very sensitive to the tone of one's voices. "Not in that tone of voice, young man!" I can still hear her voice echoing through time.

So, I was born prewired for sound. As a young man I read many books on composition and lighting for photography. By the year 2000, I had begun doing sound for video shoots and the people who hired me were very generous. I learned lighting techniques from them. Four years later when I bought my first video camera (a Canon XL2) I began lighting, shooting and editing my own work. 

What can I say. I'm impassioned by audio and almost as much by video. I hope you will join me in my pursuit. More about me at www.tyford.com.
