Beyond the Camera with Ramie Ahmed

In this episode of "How You Create," I am joined by Ramie Ahmed, Photographer and Google Pixel & Aperture 2023 Creator Labs Photo Fund grant recipient. Ramie, now working out of New York, describes himself as a documentary photographer focussing on marginalized communities, specifically the LGBTQ, Queer, and Trans spaces.

In this episode, Ramie discusses growing up in New Jersey, his responsibility in capturing communities without telling stories for others, while putting out meaningful work. Primarily a film photographer, we discuss the permanence of film versus digital, and the power of storytelling the medium offers.
