Ara is a fashion photographer based in Toronto, Canada. She enjoys telling stories through the lens of fashion and is often fascinated with how people dress. Ara strives to reflect her experiences, interests, and aspirations through her work, and hopes that in turn her viewers can relate with their own point of view.

Photography is a second career from a re-discovered passion for life. Prior to picking up a camera, Ara worked in tech and e-commerce. She has led teams including creatives (i.e. writers, photographers, designers, and editors), as well as, business professionals (i.e. project managers, sales, and operations) and believes this makes her a better photographer, as she tries to understand how the worlds of art and commerce connect.
