Interview Tamara Lichtenstein
Photography has been the only form of expression I truly love.
Name: Tamara Lichtenstein
Hometown: I was born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, but I moved to Houston, Texas when I was only two months old. Texas is practically my hometown.
Style of photography: It’s not really a specific style.. it’s just what I usually have in mind at the moment. It’s always changing.
Type of camera(s): I used a nikon d80 for 3-4 years, but digital really started to bore me. Now, I use a nikon n80 most of the time.

What gives you inspiration?
Anything and everything! Inspiration is constantly flooding my mind. There’s always something intriguing going on in this world, how could I not be inspired? Lately, I have been shooting a lot of people, which is my favorite thing to do. Everyone looks completely different, especially when it’s in a different environment, so there’s always countless ideas in my head. Sometimes slow electronic music like Mophono can help, if it’s one of those days. Inspiration is never forced, it just happens.
What are your influences?
Ryan Mcginley, Terry Richardson, Juergen Teller… Of course, Anne Leibovitz, etc. There’s so many…
Why did you choose these photos?
They just represent my work as a whole. Also, they tend to be everyone’s favorites, including me!
What does photography mean to you?
Everything. Without it, I feel that I would go crazy. My mind has too many things going on. Photography has been the only form of expression I truly love. This kind of love never dies. It’s who I am.
