When a 20-year-old Ira flew to the UK in search of his biological father, he had no idea a new life awaited him.


Ira met his partner on that trip, and after 4 years long distance, he moved to London to be with him.


Ira had freelanced in the Philippines before his move, and he now runs freelance photography agency Ventana.


He chats to Steve about finding and keeping clients - by building relationships and being great to work with - and tells the story behind his decision to rebrand as an agency.
