Help Me See: Photo Consciousness with Bianca Lea Morra

Help Me See is a living audio journal about the art of living awake.

this isn’t really about photographs. it’s about photographic consciousness - a way of being and meeting life through the moment before you even think to take a picture.

I talk about what I’m making and what I’m unmaking,
how the self creates our lens,
and the ways we return to our own aliveness when we see beyond the image.

if you’ve ever felt the ache to be here more without even really knowing what that means-
you’re in the right place.

Join photographic artist, writer, & educator Bianca Lea Morra as we discover living through full body seeing.

I turned my biggest fear into a beautiful vision for my life.

     At 11 yrs old, I was in bed staring at the dark ceiling and I had my first ever panic attack while considering the meaning of death. I just kept thinking, "nothing. nothing, nothing, nothing." The idea that everything that was so important to me would eventually turn into nothing, was too much for my 11 yr old brain to handle.

      I became obsessed with documenting, saving, & creating things with meaning. Grease stained lunch notes, home video stills, and creating immersive installations dedicated to loved ones present & passed-I viewed everything through a nostalgic lens. I saw through the current state and into the sentimental core of it all. I received my BFA in Photography and continued living my life with a deep desire to make it count & not miss it. (whatever "it " was)

In 2021, the death of my beloved dog, my first real loss in life, confirmed that the work I had been creating and my process for living it served a higher and an infinitely more expansive purpose. Grief, comfort, love, self discovery- I didn't find refuge in grand, polished places. I found what I needed in the chronicles of my seemingly mundane nothingness. There is was, the whole time. I knew it all along and yet- I needed to be reminded. Don't we always know? Sometimes we all just need reminding.

     Since then I have launched a podcast, an intimate membershipeducation, & photographic commission offerings. All of my work is centered around showing you that your "nothing" is really your everything. All you have to do is see.

Join me at the intersection of mindful photographic practice, connecting to your truth, & creative expression so that you can live more of your life on purpose.
