When we first started SAMARA a year and a half ago, photography was something that seemed like such a hard thing to figure out. When we got our first samples, we created a little photobooth out of cardboard so we could try and take a few photos.
A year and a half later, this was our first video shoot. When I started SAMARA, videography seemed like something so, so distant, and it’s so surreal to be able to share this. Our hope is that we can show you more of our bags in motion so that we can bring you closer to us.
The best part about this shoot is that we worked with a full female team who are incredibly talented. We make it a conscious choice to always work with people who inspire us and make us better. The song you hear is by our talented friend from Kenya, @xeniamanasseh whose music lifts us higher every day!
