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.

What if not everything we do has to be a means to an end?What if we release ourselves from that?What happens if we pause long enough to realize it's an "and" that we are in need of- not an "or".We forget, we remember, and we forget again.Life is silly.join this conversation with my most favorite yoga instructor ever, Melanie Hale.more from Melanie-https://www.themovementmystic.com/more from Bianca-Photographic Artist Program WaitlistLIMITED TIME: Free Sacred Vision Expansion 1:1 CallMore from Bianca:www.biancaleamorra.comBook Your NLP Breakthrough Session Meditations for Photographic Artists: https://insighttimer.com/biancaleamorraFree weekly coworking: PHOTO yogaMonthly Membership: Nostalgia, Now.IG: @biancaleamorrahttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/

The parallels between the art of somatic self healing & the art of photographic practice runs deep. This conversation truly excited me. "With over 6 years of experience in the mental health field, Meleah has worked with diverse populations, including those facing severe mental illness, domestic violence, suicide, and grief & bereavement. When she lost her job & became bedridden with chronic illnesses in 2020, she found herself feeling stuck and frustrated with traditional talk therapy modalities. Desperate for relief, she went on a journey of exploring alternative healing methods, such as breathwork, nervous system regulation, and somatic practices and found healing that she was unable to find in 7+ years of traditional talk therapy & went into remission. After completing her Masters in Clinical Psychology in 2022, she decided to walk away from the conventional therapy system and follow her instinct to guide therapists and wellness leaders on their OWN transformative paths, using the same holistic and alternative healing modalities that helped transform her mental, emotional, physical & spiritual health. Her mission is to foster a revolution of ethical renegades who will pioneer the next wave of embodied, authentic & connected leaders to cultivate deep change and healing in the world."More from Meleah:https://www.instagram.com/meleah.roseshow notes:The real reason why we are tired and what to do about it | Saundra Dalton-Smith | TEDxAtlantaMore from Bianca:www.biancaleamorra.comBook Your NLP Breakthrough Session Meditations for Photographic Artists: https://insighttimer.com/biancaleamorraFree weekly coworking: PHOTO yogaMonthly Membership: Nostalgia, Now.IG: @biancaleamorrahttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/

This month in our membership "Wholeness" is our intention. There's so much value in recognizing the different parts of yourself but there's also a deep and profound beauty in standing in the wholeness of you. YOU are where all of the nuances, complexities, and oftentimes conflicting parts come together in an entity that has a completely unique, unrepeatable lens. What might happen if you stood in the knowing of your wholeness in your daily life? Not operating with an emphasis of constant striving, efforting, and not enoughness, but grounding in your wholeness while loosely holding your curiosity for growth and expansion?By zeroing in on my flow state in photo sessions, I was able to isolate the #1 thing that distracts my ability to enter flow in other areas of life.More from Bianca:www.biancaleamorra.comBook Your NLP Breakthrough Session Meditations for Photographic Artists: https://insighttimer.com/biancaleamorraFree weekly coworking: PHOTO yogaMonthly Membership: Nostalgia, Now.IG: @biancaleamorrahttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/
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 membership, education, & 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.
