Tamara’s passion for photography started in the school darkroom in the 1980’s. She is an avid traveller who has made a niche in Documentary film making as a sound recordist, aerial cinematographer, and stills photographer. Tamara has sailed to every ocean and travelled to both 80° South and North, but feels most at one in the mountains. She sets out to communicate through photography, the world around her, in an artful, informative, and honest way, as a fine art, and a documentary photographer, who wants to frame the multifaceted layers in front of her. She is always seeking something that touched her, the slightly different, or overlooked.
Her documentary film practice covers science, natural history and exploration films. In her photography practice she photographs expeditions, situational landscape, wildscapes, and portraits. She has been widely published in both magazine and global news media. She was shortlisted for the Royal Geographical Society's Earth Photo 2020 award, and was winner of the Shackleton/Leica 2021 'Capture the Extreme" competition.
Tamara's current colleciton, The Endurance Collection, was photographed in one of the most inhospitable, untouched and unreachable parts of the workd, the Weddell Sea, Antarctica. The collection is named after the ship Endurance that sunk in the area in 1915.
This collection is presented in lightboxes to be as true to the moment as was to the witnesses' eye and heart.
