2023-05-02

With us today, in this first episode of "The Camera Cafe Show", a special guest, live from the Ukraine, the amazing street photographer Iva Sidash. She is the kind of photographer who has photography in her blood and shows us the emotions of her subjects, and her own life, through her pictures and portraits. Iva saw her work from being a street photographer, evolve to a more journalist documentary style, as she wanted to capture memories since the Russian invasion, for those not to forget and show their suffer to the outside world. In this interview we will discuss with her the way she goes on about making such powerful photography, the in -and outs of being a war photographer and will share some tips as how to get working as a photographer in such emotional difficult times. We hope you enjoy it.
