  • Portrait Photographer Erena Shimoda

    In episode twenty nine we’re honoring Breast Cancer Awareness month with underwater photographer Erena Shimoda.

    Erena works with cancer and trauma survivors to give them an experience like no other, and a way to help them heal emotionally through the therapeutic immersion. Erena raised money to fund her work, donating almost half of it to charity and the rest to photograph 13 cancer survivors.

    We talk about her approach to this work, and how her own trauma helps her guide others through the process.
