Revisiting 2020...<br />

Tamara Krautkramer<br />

Liz introduces us to her <strong>Inspiring</strong><br />

Woman of 2020, photographer,<br />

Tamara Krautkramer, AWA Kenya.<br />

"In 2020 the <strong>Inspiring</strong> <strong>Women</strong> team<br />

decided to launch an issue to<br />

feature some of the many<br />

wonderful photographers from around the<br />

FAWCO world. We knew that there were<br />

plenty of these and we were not disappointed.<br />

The issue, <strong>Women</strong> Visualizing a Point of View,<br />

became more about images than words as<br />

a result.<br />

Tamara Krautkramer<br />

Tamara Krautkramer from AWA Kenya was<br />

nominated. I still remember receiving the<br />

images Tamara sent us. I had visited Kenya<br />

in 2018 myself and so some of her photos<br />

brought back many of my own memories.<br />

The vibrance of the colours in her photos and<br />

the sheer range of subject matter impressed<br />

me greatly.<br />

From her original profile, I especially love the<br />

sad photo of the lioness. Looking into her<br />

eyes, you can see that she is sad, even if you<br />

don't know the background story. Tamara<br />

has definitely captured that emotion in a<br />

wild animal.<br />

I also like her last image, taken before<br />

COVID-19 struck, of the Samburu girls feet.<br />

Somehow even though you can’t even see<br />

the warriors they are hoping to dance with,<br />

you can tell they are anxiously waiting for<br />

something. It’s such a skill to be able to use a<br />

static image to portray something moving.<br />

The new photos Tamara has sent us for<br />

this article are equally beautiful,<br />

and I am sure you will love seeing<br />

them too."<br />
