About
More about Tam, the man behind Tam Photography.
As a McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management graduate fluent in English, French, Vietnamese, and German, my career as a professional photographer and artist is enriched by a global perspective and a deep-seated passion for classical music. This passion is a legacy passed down through generations of cinematographers and photographers in my family, and it's what drives my pursuit of capturing moments that tell a story.
Over the past nine years, I've carved a niche for myself in Montreal's classical music scene, becoming a preferred photographer for a roster of distinguished clients. Among them are the Concours Musical International de Montréal, Orchestre Classique de Montréal, Opéra de Montréal, Schulich School of Music, and GFN Productions, each of which has entrusted me to visually narrate their most significant moments. My work is regularly featured in renowned publications like The Strad and CBC, a testament to the impact and reach of my photography.
While my portfolio highlights collaborations with international stars such as Maria Dueñas, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Lang Lang, and Michael Bublé, these names represent just a glimpse into the broad spectrum of artists and institutions I've had the privilege to work with. My experience extends beyond these highlights, encompassing a wide array of projects that, while not all mentioned here, contribute to my esteemed reputation in and beyond Montreal.
My background as a classical musician informs my artistic approach and deepens my connection to the music and its performers, allowing me to capture moments with an authenticity and sensitivity that resonates. This unique blend of music and photography is more than a profession; it's a passion that drives me to create images that tell a story and celebrate classical music's legacy and beauty.
