In The Studio with Shaira Luna | Vogue Philippines

As a seasoned photographer, #ShairaLuna knows what the job entails: long hours, a restless mind, many back-and-forth conversations. Yet, it’s precisely the care she expresses in her work and on set that has allowed her career to grow. "You can exist as a joyful person in this industry," she tells Vogue. For #InTheStudio, the sought-after photographer talks about her first exposure to lighting, the care built into her home makeshift sets, the thrift finds that fuel her personal shoots, and the collaboration and comfort that tie her cinematic images together, two decades since she picked up a camera.
