Lera Rayne (@lera_rayne) is a photographer with a quietly fierce story of self-made growth. Ten years after moving to the U.S. on her own, with just $2,000 and no support system - she’s continued to build her life through discipline, creativity, and purpose.
This year, she’s also answering a long-held calling: studying to become a personal trainer alongside her photography career. Drawn to winged motifs that echo her tattoo and her pursuit of inner freedom, Lera connects jewelry with meaning: patience, self-care, and the courage to lean into strength when needed. With an edgy, androgynous aesthetic and a focus on what truly matters (not what’s “expected”), she’s a collaborator who represents resilience, intention, and staying true to your own path.
