Hey, Hot Shot! Entries: Tamara Umansky
Untitled (Two) by aspiring Hot Shot Tamara Umansky
Inspiration came to Tamara Umansky from the combination of a day in the park and a father’s hobby. After moving from Mexico City to Houston at the ripe age of 13, she picked up her father’s Nikon and snapped a shot of a park bench. Struck by her inability to articulate what the image was doing to her, her passion for the medium began. She admits her work has no overarching theme, at least that she can identify as of yet––but she is inspired by everyday objects, people, places and things. Since graduating she has worked as still photographer on various film sets. Tamara says, “the idea of documenting something that doesn’t actually exist and authenticating it seems paradoxical, but it holds a special appeal for me.”
Keep it up Tamara. As for everyone else, the clock ticks. Enter today!
