Dr. G:  How long have you been doing photography?

Tameer:  I've been a photographer for about five years.

Dr. G:  Why photography? How did you find your passion for photography?

Tameer:  I remember being a part of my school newspaper, at Wyncote Academy, as the newspaper photographer. That's where I developed my initial passion for photography.

Dr. G:  Do you have a long-term goal or vision for your art?

Tameer:  Yes! I want to be an international photographer and have the opportunity to expand my love for photography.

Dr. G:  How about this collection Tameer? What was your inspiration for this set of artistic images? Amazing job, by the way! I truly enjoyed diving into the intricacies of the photos.

Tameer:  Thanks Dr. G. I really enjoyed shooting this collection. The Sky Light Collection was inspired by an art mentor of mines who taught me to always pay close attention to the small details. As a scholar and artist, I truly embrace trying new things and constantly learning from other photographers to expand my own artistic skills.

Dr. G: That's dope Tameer. Last question, where are you now and what are you doing?

Tameer: Currently, I am a student at the Community College of Philadelphia studying photography.

Dr. G: Thanks Tameer for sharing your art with us and it has been a pleasure to hear about your story and the inspiration behind your work. Again, this is a beautiful collection. I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors and we all look forward to seeing more of your artwork!

Tameer: Thanks for the opportunity.
