She is a trained sociologist she incorporates photography, video, sound and interviews methods into her practice, enabling her to work with an array of different clients, communities and projects around the world exploring themes in the great outdoors
Tanya’s focus is on the remote wild spaces around the world, drawn to these places she is curious about the people who live in, experience and protect these lands. It is her curiosity and sense of adventure that motivates her to seek out these stories.
