Hi, I’m Dara

I’m a photographer based in Philadelphia. I first picked up a camera to capture my friends and the places I traveled—simple moments that felt worth remembering. Over time, that casual beginning turned into something deeper: a love for storytelling through images. Photography, for me, is about more than just what’s in the frame. It’s about capturing a moment and the emotion that lives within it. I want to create work that tells a story. Something big, something special, something real.
