Jay Tamang, a Nepali-born social worker, and photographer, has dedicated his time and passion to nature photography to bring about environmental awareness and appreciation for the beauty around us. Growing up in Nepal, Jay was surrounded by majestic mountains, waterfalls, and radiant light that brought life to every moment.

The incredible power of nature had such a profound impact on Jay that it ignited a deep desire to care for the place that made him feel alive. While photography is his primary passion, Jay has also utilized his social skills to guide children in attaining education. He has helped children in remote villages of Nepal by building school institutions and providing educational supplies, ensuring that these children have the opportunity to succeed.

Through perseverance and hard work, Jay has raised enough funds to build three schools: an elementary school with 58 children, a high school with 250 students, and a college with 106 students. These schools have become beacons of hope for a better future for the children Jay had to leave behind but will never forget. Reflecting on his days as a mountain guide, Jay reminisces and expresses his desire to share the amazing glory of creation among the world's highest peaks with others.

Jay has learned that through art and a love for nature, what truly matters is what one visualizes through their eyes, how they progress and enhance their talents, and most importantly, what lies within their passion. His dedication to both photography and social work exemplifies his commitment to making a positive impact on the world and inspiring others to appreciate and protect the beauty of nature.
