Kerani Arpaia is our next Behind the Lens feature. Kerani was also the very first winner of our photo challenges! So let's discover and marvel in some of her favorite photographs together!
Thank you so much Sarah! That photo has always stuck with me - I don't usually work with a lot of direct light, but I love the way the glimmers fell on her in that shot ✨
These photographs and Kerani's work is absolutely magical. I love this style and these are phenomenal. I could stare at them for hours. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. I love how Substack is turning into the place where we can celebrate creativity and share beauty and wonder and words.
Well shucks, now I'm blushing 🥰 thank you so much for the kind words Emily! I agree, love seeing how Substack is becoming an intersection for visual and literary storytelling.
These are wonderful photos. And how honoring to be brought into friend's journeys in such a special way. Thanks for sharing, Kerani. I'm particularly drawn the boat in the forest. I'm not a fan of being on boats, but I'd sail around a forest in one any day!
It was such a special experience to be a part of - I always consider it an honor when women invite me in to tell their story through my art.
That boat photo will always be one of my favorites! I think especially because it was one of the hardest photos I've ever done and I'm so proud of how it came out 😆
I love the mythical and fantasy aspects of Kerani's photography, especially the last photo with how the light is falling on Cassie's face - beautiful!

Very cool. I love Kerani's work. The Pomegranate theme is particularly good.
Thank you Darin! ✨

Gorgeous work, Kerani. I love the lines in the Hugin and Munin shoot!
