Tamara Lackey
Tamara Lackey is a portrait, commercial and editorial photographer whose work has been described as “expressive, soulful, funny, beautiful”. A Nikon USA Ambassador, her work – from children’s portraits to celebrity portraits – has appeared in dozens of media outlets, including O Magazine, Men’s Journal and on The Today Show.
When deciding on a new piece of equipment, Vincent LaForet encourages his seminar students to figure out why they need it, then learn how to use it. He tells host Tamara Lackey the importance of understanding the “why” before the “how” when making a video or buying a piece of equipment, and how this philosophy has helped him become one of the biggest names in still and video imaging. He also discusses how the Canon 5D Mark II prompted his transition from still photography into film making.
