Chapter 9: Tanim’s life before Northant Media
Tanim had always been a mild-mannered gentleman with a passion for creativity and an eye for detail. Growing up in a humble home, his family instilled in him a sense of perseverance, even if his academic journey wasn’t extraordinary. Tanim didn’t excel in school or college and ultimately dropped out, but he was resourceful and willing to try his hand at various jobs to make ends meet.
An Encounter of Creative Minds.
One evening, Tanim found himself at a lively party, mingling among strangers. While nursing a drink, he struck up a conversation with a well-dressed gentleman named Wade. As their conversation deepened, Wade confided a troubling secret—his wife, Rachel, was acting suspiciously, and he feared she might be unfaithful. Wade, desperate for answers, lamented that he couldn’t follow her himself because she would recognize his car and suspect him.
Tanim, ever curious and eager to help, surprised himself by offering to investigate. Wade, sensing Tanim’s sincerity, handed him a generous sum as an advance, trusting him to uncover the truth.

The Hobbyist Private I.
The next day, Tanim set to work with a newfound sense of purpose. He meticulously gathered information about Rachel’s routines, tracking her comings and goings with a quiet determination. Over the course of a week, Tanim followed her discreetly, his camera capturing fleeting moments of her secret life.
The tension mounted as Tanim pieced together the evidence. Late one night, in a dimly lit parking lot, he finally captured the damning proof: Rachel was indeed cheating on Wade. Armed with photos and records, he presented everything to Wade, who used the evidence in his divorce proceedings. Tanim even found himself called to the witness stand, his testimony pivotal in the case’s outcome.

A Growing Reputation
Wade was so impressed by Tanim’s dedication that he shared the story with his friends. Before long, Tanim began receiving calls from other men seeking answers about their wives. Though hesitant, Tanim couldn’t deny the thrill of uncovering hidden truths. Case by case, he caught cheaters, his confidence growing with each success.
But his work wasn’t without danger. One fateful night, while tailing another subject, his car came under fire. Shaken but unharmed, Tanim learned that the woman he had been investigating was involved with a notorious gangster.

What shall Tanim do next
The near-death experience marked a turning point for Tanim. Realizing the toll this work was taking on his life, he decided to leave the world of private investigation behind. He spent weeks recovering, unsure of what to do next.
Opportunity knocked when he landed a job at an event management firm. Managing events came naturally to him, and he thrived in the role. During one particularly hectic wedding, the assigned photographer fell ill, and Tanim stepped in with a borrowed camera. What started as an emergency quickly blossomed into a newfound passion for photography.

The Leap of Faith
By 2008, after years of honing his skills, the event management company shut its doors. Faced with two choices—returning to retail or pursuing photography full-time—Tanim chose the latter. He began freelancing for established photographers, soaking up knowledge and refining his craft.

A Life-Changing Meeting
In 2012, at another wedding, Tanim’s path crossed with Bowman’s. Their collaboration was effortless, their shared vision clear. Together, they founded Northant Media, a venture that combined Tanim’s creative eye with Bowman’s disciplined approach.
Tanim’s journey, filled with twists and turns, was a testament to resilience and self-discovery. From an amateur investigator to a skilled photographer and co-founder of a thriving business, Tanim transformed his life by embracing his passions and taking bold leaps of faith.
