​My name is Tamara Benarroch (b. 2005, Miami, FL), and I am an American-Colombian fine art portrait photographer based in New York City. Currently, I am a third-year photography student at Parsons School of Design, set to graduate with a BFA in 2027. ​​

​

I've created a variety of work, ranging from editorials, street photography, commercial, multimedia, fine art, and portraiture. Yet the work that blossoms from my soul, the work I cannot live without photographing, is anything I feel beauty, emotion, and depth in. Whether its my roommate lounging on her cheetah print bed or my martial arts women’s locker room after class, I am moved to romantically capture and forever preserve those moments. I wish to tell stories layered with emotional depth, intentional concepts, and profound questions. This includes stories of my own, of my friends, family, communities, or simply of collective human experiences: my strange Infantile Amnesia; what it’s like to be a woman in a male dominated martial arts; a morning cup of coffee. My body of work has thus become an archive of personal, communal, and collective stories and concepts. 

​

While my work is visually an array of black and white, soft pastels, digital, medium format, and multimedia processes, it’s emotionally consistent with shades of quiet, honest, and intimate frames. Some of my recent series have been Home, Rest?, The Quiet In Between, Moving Bodies and its Injuries, and Femininity in Martial Arts. 

​

Simply,
Emotions. Questions. Concepts. Storytelling.
