Lavanya Ullas began her photography journey intending to understand and document her travels, capturing fjords in New Zealand to the steppes in Mongolia and from couch-surfing hosts in Iran to riding the Trans-Siberian rail through Russia. Over the past decade, through work and life, she also had the incredible opportunity to call Dubai, France, Poland, and Singapore home. After over a decade away, She moved back home to India, settling down in a city that feels and is both familiar and foreign at the same time - Bombay (Mumbai).
