 I'm Tara Garner-construction photographer, legacy Ironworker's daughter, and the eyes behind Under Construction Photography. I specialize in capturing the raw, untamed beauty of America's toughest job sites-bridges, steel structures, roadways, and the men and women who build them. 

With a camera in hand and steel-toed boots on the ground, I've turned a childhood spent among rebar, rigging, and rivets into a career documenting the stories that live in welds, beams, and grit. This isn't just photography-it's a tribute. To legacy. To labor. To the backbone of this country.

Raised in a five-generation union ironworking family, I carry the spirit of the trade with me in everything I shoot. I don't just know the job - I respect it, live it, and photograph it from the inside out. My goal is simple: preserve the moments that matter, from sunrise safety meetings to the last bolt tightened at night.

Whether I'm scaling high steel, shooting a joint seal job under floodlights, or chasing golden hour through rebar shadows, my work is always driven by fairness, integrity, honesty, and justice.

If you're building something that'll last - let's capture it the right way.
