Chasing Stories with Clara Shuku Mokri

Clara Shuku Mokri, a Los Angeles-based visual storyteller, is on the podcast this week to talk about life as a photographer and videographer. Growing up in a family of surfers along the beautiful shores of Malibu and Topanga Beach, Clara's early connection with nature and adventure shaped her artistic sensibilities. She discovered her true calling and decided to delve deeper into the world of photography throughout her studies at Yale University, where she played basketball and studied political science. Receiving her Masters in Documentary Filmmaking at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, where she coined herself a photojournalist, Clara's journey allowed her to explore her own memories and document them for generations to come.
Clara talks about the inspiration behind her hyperfixation on capturing life's fleeting moments. The experience of witnessing her beloved grandfather battle Alzheimer's disease ignited a profound desire to preserve memories and cherish the precious moments that make up our lives. Clara's artistic approach is truly remarkable, with her diverse portfolio from sports photography to portraits. Clara nestles herself excellently in the niche of emphasizing the power of stillness and the emotions evoked by frozen moments.
