Tisné’s style of photography is predicated on the primacy and subtlety of light. He prefers a method of photography that is pared back, minimalist and in some instances almost appearing empty in their constitution, however they are in a dichotomous manner full of expression and emotive aura.

Tisné’s style of photography is predicated on the primacy and subtlety of light. He prefers a method of photography that is pared back, minimalist and in some instances almost appearing empty in their constitution, however they are in a dichotomous manner full of expression and emotive aura. Tisné’s photography explores both the figurative and anatomical proportions of human beings, by capturing them in sensory moments in both pre-designated and entirely organic settings. He also captures landscape scenes of remote wilderness with a captivating serenity and perspective, emphasizing the unmatched grandeur of nature. In both his figurative and non-figurative photographs, the central common, animating and defining factor is his supreme ability to convey the complexity of his subject matter, whether human or inanimate, in a thoroughly understated and simplified manner, giving his photography an essence of honest realism that is its most precious quality.
