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 />
