We first knew about Shaira as the gifted kid from the Promil video who can memorize a science book! At 13, she's already in college, and first thought of becoming a doctor because of the society's expectations of her as a gifted child. She studied 4 courses and couldn't really figure what she wants and quitted school at 17. Until she found photography, and said yes to it. She is now a freelance fashion and pro advertising photographer!
"Sometimes they will tell you to take the straight path, but why do you have to do that? You have to create your own path." – Shaira Luna
