Why me
Ira has a rare gift for showing a person’s natural beauty. Through her photographs, I saw myself from a new side.

Photography is therapy.
It is art. It is love.
In every session, I fall in love — fully — with the person in front of my lens. And then I look for the way someone who loves you sees you: beautiful, charismatic, intimate, unmistakably yourself.
I know how frightening it is to hand someone the power to portray you, and how strange it feels to “pose”. That is why, during the session, I’m right there with you and help you express yourself — and before it, we choose the locations and outfits together, so on the day of the shooting, you can leave the details to me and focus on the process.
So let’s do it together. Let’s make a film of your own, with you in the leading role — a way to make a statement, or to hold on to a special chapter of your life.
