Tidal is an independent print and digital publication founded by Anna Wolf. Since 2014, we’ve been a vessel overflowing with fun, color, and whimsy. Hop in and hang out with us. It’s a wild ride and we promise to take the scenic route.
Founder
Anna Wolf
Though she’s been splitting her time between New York and Los Angeles for 20 years, photographer Anna Wolf is a California girl at heart. But shoots have taken her all over the world, including South Africa, Thailand, and France. In 2014 Anna launched Tidal magazine, a place to showcase her work and the work of her peers, mixing New York sensibilities with a laid-back West Coast vibe.

Executive editor
Muzam Agha
Mesmerized by the flashing lights, glitz and glamour of a photo shoot he saw in a Bollywood film, London-born and Miami-raised Muzam Agha, knew at the age of eight that he was destined to work in photography. Serving as casting and photo director/producer for multiple editorial and advertising clients, Muzam keeps his creative juices flowing by solo back-packing across the globe (he’s collected stamps in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Thailand, Istanbul and Costa Rica to name a few). His side gig: ghost hunter.

PRODUCTION DIRECTOR
Jessica Hodgson
From a (shockingly) young age, people told this west coast native that she seemed like a New Yorker, so at 17 she applied to NYU and decided to give it a whirl. Currently based in Brooklyn, Jessica is an in-house photo & video producer that loves having the opportunity to flex her creative muscles, while also fulfilling her innate desire to dismantle chaos and get things done. Outside of work, Jessica is particularly proud of her ability to keep plants alive, and will happily give you unsolicited advice on yours.

SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR
Melissa Tablante
Melissa Tablante once wore a Polar Bear themed cardigan to elementary school everyday because she loved it so much. Most people didn't get it (she grew up in Miami), but someone called it "her look" and from then on, she was hooked on the power of personal style. She is now a NY-based stylist and brand strategist, where she is passionate about working on projects that evoke emotion & build meaningful connection in the digital fashion space. She still wears a lot of cardigans and is still in love with the idea of dressing for no one but herself.

Design collaborator
Douglas Hayes
Douglas Hayes is a designer living in New York City. For him, drawing video game logos in elementary school turned into drawing skateboard logos in middle school, which turned into writing graffiti in high school, and then turned into studying letterforms in college. Currently, he operates independently between typeface, logo, and lettering projects. In 2022, he created the new Tidal Magazine logo in collaboration with Tida Tep, and is an ongoing contributor of lettering pieces on select stories. On Sundays, you will likely find him stressed out about the Buffalo Bills.

PRODUCER
Becca Hong
Becca is a Korean-American creative producer currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Her productions are a visual representation of her business acumen, love for the craft and most importantly, love for her people. When she’s not obsessed with her current production, you can most likely find her on the mats training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, striking a warrior two at hot yoga or spending time with her tuxedo cat and partner.
