Capturing Emotion, Not Just Images: The Magic of ICM with Kaisa Siren

Ready for something a bit different that might make you rethink having people - or even yourself - in the frame?

She's just as charming in person as she is online!)Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2upzRyM4fHQ&list=PLaUQ33Eh9FrrOXCUorA4Co5JrOKDbhNZJ&index=1&t=69sSara Kushner is an environmental self-portrait photographer on a mission to make life a bit more playful.
