Born and raised in New York City, Iqra fell in love with photography ten years ago as a way of seeing and exploring the world of human experiences. She likes to read fiction and poetry, and enjoys expanding her perspective through travel. Her most rewarding trip to date was to Ghana with the nonprofit organization African Health Now, to volunteer and document the NGO’s efforts to improve access to maternal healthcare at Madina Polyclinic Kekele in Accra.

Iqra is available for Portrait, Fashion, Lifestyle and Travel Photography.

#milesfrombermuda I am here,

#milesfrombermuda So much going on in the world,
So much going on in your world.
So much going on in my world,
So much going on.

Where do you begin to find your place in all of this? 
#alwaysmilesfrom Not hiding, just seeking this kid
#alwaysmilesfrom Still can't believe this trip happened - even if it was a year ago, still remember the kindness and warmth that Ghana showed me during a difficult year; still can't believe I watched a woman give birth in a taxi, still can't believe I fell and fractu Wearing pieces you've collected from your travels and things that have been passed down to you from the women in your family rank mighty high in the hierarchy of sentimental things.

Inspired by @shaistadeen who reminds us brown girls of the times we were little and would play with our mother's dupatta. If only we could all look as graceful as she Mood today.

Also, you know you're getting old and desperate for sleep when you're skipping dinner to be in bed by 9:30 pm cause you can't keep your eyes open past 10pm anyway.

#MilesfromNewYork It's hard to part ways with places that let you just be, same goes for people. 
Fortunately, traveling teaches you to let go of habits and people that no longer add value to your life. 
It also makes you get addicted to justifying every crazy impulse Free

#milesfrommexico The view from the gelato spot I visited everyday. 
Also the same spot where I watched three different guys with expensive equipment dutifully take their wives/girlfriends photos. 
I still feel for the poor guy who was recording a video with a gimbal Missing this magical jungle beach paradise so I'm just gonna keep filling my feed with photos of it

#MilesfromTulum
#Milesfrommexico Best last meal I've ever had - no tummy ache, food poisoning or vomiting on this trip. Everything I ate was so freshly made and actually organic; not just labelled organic. 
Now that I'm back home food ( & everything else)  pales in comparison an Unassuming on the outside, gorgeous on the inside.

#milesfrommexico Always wanted to stay in a treehouse ( & build one too) but the power went out while I was reading to sleep. I have seen enough scary movies to know that you don't go down a treehouse and walk down a long dark path to concierge in the middle of t Sunrise in the Jungle with Milan Kundera. I fall asleep with my books so I can reach for them when I wake up and continue where I left off. #childhoodhabitsneverdie

#milesfrommexico I'm convinced Tulum is the unpretentious equivalent of the Hamptons for spiritual hippies.
