“This lens is my therapy.”
Being outdoors has a wealth of health benefits, and landscape photographer Sapna Reddy knows this better than most. As a full-time radiologist, she spends a lot of time in a hospital setting, and has made it her mission to bring the healing properties of the outdoors inside.
With a background in health, a passion for photography, and a deep curiosity around color theory and art therapy, Sapna uses her camera to convert stark environments into the colorful, calming, and healing spaces they should be.
After spending lots of time outdoors, I just felt more emotionally resilient when I returned to the hospital. And I noticed that the walls of the hospital were very harsh, we weren’t really creating an environment for healing. I think it's very important to create the right environment for the mind in order for the body to heal.”

This lens is my love story.
Anniversary trip to Negril, Jamaica
This lens embraces the weird.
This is Gourdon, and he's just one of the many funny faces captured by my faithful camera. I treasure these moments that allow me to be creative and let the weirdness out to play.
This lens captures what we cannot see.
I love taking long exposures because my lens can capture more than I can't see with my bare eyes. It collects all the light that's there and creates this beautiful image.
