Education
My full name is Shamar Johanna Boiten and I was born in Hoogeveen, The Netherlands, 23 july 1990. I live in amersfoort at the moment.

In 2004 my father bought a Minolta digital camera with only 4 megapixels. It was nothing but a stupid thing, but that was the moment when I discovered photography. The thing just lived for a year because of me using it every day, every hour, every minute...
After that I got a Pentax IstDL* for my birthday. With that camera my life as a photographer began. Together with friends we made expressive shots of eachother and made a lot of fun. But every day I was getting better and it was getting more serious. When that camera broke I got a Pentax IstDL2.

I had a period I did photograph a lot of live musicians, but now I want to get a close look at high fashion fotoshoots, with my new camera Nikon D90.
Lately I've been asked many times for things like weddings, portraits and band promotion shoots.

Also I am the photographer of the band Tribal Spirits: www.tribalspirits.nl/
