We recently connected with Elizaveta Dirat and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Elizaveta, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
I have always had a passion for creativity and dreamed of becoming a film director in my youth. However, I only began to pursue a serious path after the outbreak of Covid-19 prompted me to reevaluate my life. This pushed me to explore the world of photography & videography, starting with taking pictures and videos of my husband and friends. Now, I am proud to say that I am a photographer & videographer myself.
Elizaveta, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am a photographer and videographer based in LA, and my focus is on lifestyle, product, and brand photography. I like to explore new techniques and ways of thinking to enhance my creativity. I also enjoy learning from other creatives and can spend hours scrolling through their work. Traveling helps me to see ordinary things from a different perspective and inspires me.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
It is a great opportunity for people to experiment with new roles and explore different aspects of themselves. I find it fascinating to witness how people’s perception of themselves can change and how they feel more empowered as a result. In some cases, it can even be a therapeutic experience.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I have always collaborated with other creatives, and worked on something I am passionate about, and apart from showcasing my work, I also shared stories through reels and posts with the utmost sincerity possible.
