TAMARA ENGORON VENERUSO

Born into an artistic family in New York City, Tamara attended The School of Industrial Arts (now known as The High School of Art and Design). She graduated with a Major in Photography and was awarded The Wellington Prize for excellence in photography (AKA Tamara Kappy).

Her promising career was put on hold when she received a scholarship to study nursing at the City University of New York at Brooklyn College. Before moving to France with her husband Anthony Veneruso, she held the position of Assistant Director of Perioperative Services in a hospital just outside of Houston, Texas.

France has offered Tamara the wonderful opportunity to return to her first love:photography. In Paris she has been taking advanced courses in photography with professional photographer Terry Pollack, where she is learning to expand the possibilities of artistic techniques, and seeing in a new way.

Tamara has exhibited her works in Paris and has sold a number of her photos in France and the USA. Her photographs have also been used in Landscape publicity, in catalogues and posters. She currently resides in Paris, France.
