KEY TEAM MEMBERS

Tamara Bahry, Director

At the age of four, Tamara began seeing the world through the lens of a camera; this passion turned into a career in 2000. Alongside her passion for the arts, Tamara pursued a career in finance, where she quickly worked her way to Vice President at Clearview Investments. From her extensive professional experience to her roots in philanthropy, Tamara’s commitment to people of all kinds is unmistakable. This commitment inspired her to co-found Commission Yourself, a fundraiser focused on combating and bringing awareness to sex trafficking in the Greater Toronto Area. Tamara blends her support of charity with her artistic endeavours by donating all proceeds from her documentary and studio photography work to a selection of charities in need.
