Mara Clemar Photography in NYC

I was born in Bari, a small town in Puglia — the heel of Italy’s boot, full of light, colors, and simple beauty that inspires the way I see the world.

Along the way, I’ve participated in photography workshops in Italy, and my work has been featured in magazines like Elle UK, Cosmopolitan, and TPI International.

I didn’t study photography traditionally — I taught myself, following my instincts more than the rules. I love working with natural light, and while I use a digital camera, I create my own filters to give images a film-like, textured, and emotional feel.

Today, I’m based in New York, where I work as a freelance photographer specializing in family portraits, couple portraits, and editorial projects. I mainly shoot in Brooklyn (DUMBO, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill,Park Slope and Prospect Park) and Manhattan(Central Park), but I also travel for projects in Italy and around the world, capturing authentic moments wherever I go.
