For the CoLab exhibition 12 writers were asked to submit a piece of writing on the theme of ‘ Change ’, and the written pieces were then given to 12 visual artists who had not seen the writing before and were asked to create art pieces inspired by it . The pairings were anonymous and random , and Summer received a poem that inspired her to create a short film or “ visual poem ” about facing crossroads in life , an experience , she says , many people can relate to . The film was displayed at Malja until the end of February and is also available on Summer ’ s Vimeo page .
“ I believe in following your passion , and that ’ s what lead me to the career path that I am in today and which I am very thankful for ”, Summer says and adds that she looks forward to expanding her video production services while continuing to photograph families and work on commercial projects . She will also begin offering workshops in photography and video production as she gets a lot of requests to do .
Looking forward to curating Malja ’ s second Open Call for photography , Summer ’ s work is of the nature that will never cease to amaze an audience . Her keenness for capturing life through the lens is undoubtedly evident through her award-winning work and the top quality creations she continues to put forward . Whether she is capturing still images or commandeering on a film set , it is safe to say that Summer Ameen is a multimedia guru !
