ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

As photographers, we often don’t like to be on the “other” side of the camera. Idara inspires us with her 30+ week Self Portrait Sunday series that took off during the pandemic. Find out how the vulnerability of making self-portraits can not only get your creativity flowing but also heal and build self-confidence. Idara shares her process in both capturing the true essence of her subjects, as well as honing her post-processing style. We talk about storytelling - whether that’s through a still of an individual’s face or through the moments you can edit together with cinematography. Idara is a brilliant example of how passion projects create space for paid opportunities.

She focuses on creating captivating visual experiences through her dreamlike & cinematic portraits.
