About

I’m Nara Parana, a professional photographer with a focus on food and product photography. With a background in photojournalism and a Master’s Degree in Photography, I bring a unique perspective to my work. Based in London, I collaborate with various brands to create visually appealing content that highlights their products. I’m also excited to expand into video, adding a new dimension to my creative expression.

My career began in 2006 as a press photographer for A GAZETA Newspaper, right after completing my BA in Social Communication. Eager to deepen my expertise, I pursued a Postgraduate Degree in Audiovisual and Multimedia Languages while simultaneously teaching Photography and Photojournalism at São Camilo University.

In 2009, I took a leap and relocated to Europe to pursue a Master’s Degree in Photography in Lisbon, which I completed in 2011. Returning to Brazil, I worked as a photojournalist for A Tribuna Newspaper before making London my permanent home in 2014.

Since moving to London, I have collaborated with various photographic platforms across the UK. My diverse experiences continue to shape my unique perspective, and my passion for storytelling through images drives my work. For me, photography isn’t just a job, it’s a way to connect with people and share the magic behind each project.
