Having always been captivated by fashion and beauty, Itaysha fell in love with the medium of photography in high school - and soon realized her calling. She didn't know exactly how this desire to be a fashion photographer would pan but that didn't stop her from putting in the work to make this dream a reality. On this episode, Itaysha discusses the highs and lows of navigating the New York City photography scene, creating a signature style, building clientele, cultivating relationships and the road to defining what success, in the end, looks like for her. She shares her personal #dreamdriving journey and how she's been able to work with big names & brands such as Essence, Tracee Ellis Ross, Taraji P. Henson, Iman, Issa Rae, and more.
