What began as phone photography on solo trips soon evolved into a deep love of landscape photography, particularly after a transformative trip to Iceland. Since then, she has pursued big landscapes, dramatic light and moments that evoke a powerful sense of awe.In this conversation, Ridhima shares how photography has helped her navigate challenging periods in her life, how competitions have accelerated her growth, and why external validation can ease imposter syndrome.
