ILENE SQUIRES PHOTOGRAPHY

I'm a California girl who found a piece of my heart in Harlem, New York where I lived for 13 years before relocating back to Los Angeles in 2016. The Big Apple is still just as much my home, as it is where I began my career in education and later, as a photographer. Along the way, I married a ride-or-die New Yorker and convinced him to move west. Now with our two young daughters, we spend time in both cities making that bi-coastal life pop! I'm an avid traveler (36 countries and counting!) who believes life is meant to be experienced and more importantly, shared. My photography has been featured in The New York Times, Essence Magazine and Cup of Jo, among others... My daughter's infectious laugh, spring in Harlem, and a birdseye view over the desert from an airplane's window seat, are just a few of the things that inspire me. It's these candid but ethereal moments that I strive to capture in my work as a photographer - the simple beauty of life -capturing life's fleeting moments to be..
