"Don't just take a picture, when you can tell a story"
Get to know me ...
Welcome to my website, and thank you so much for stopping by. I'm Prathibha (Prathi) for short, a photographer from Germany. I have been traveling for over 10 years, first as a backpacker student, and now, whenever my 9-5 job allows me to travel, Sometimes this is with my husband but always with my camera! My work is dedicated to travelers and creatives looking to discover new destinations, eat delicious food, enjoy breathtaking nature and communicate all of these into memorable photographs.
I adore food! Most of my travel decisions are oriented around discovering regional dishes on offer at any destination. It’s safe to say that I live to eat incredible food, and love photographing it too!
I cannot function without freshly brewed coffee – if it’s South Indian filter coffee, then all the better! Occasionally, you may find my coffee obsession highlighted here…
I have a PhD in molecular biology and have a super serious, scientist side to me. This nerdy side is useful for learning photography but can sometimes conflict with my creative side (I’m working on this!).
I am a mountain girl! Despite growing up in the buzzing metropolis of Bengalaru, nothing calms my mind more than gazing at a mighty mountain panorama. This makes me low-key glad that I live only two hours from Switzerland!
I earned 2nd place in the Street Photography category at the Berlin Photo Awards 2026, with my work prominently displayed at the Erster Gallery in Berlin. Additionally, my photograph stood out as a finalist in the "People and Culture" section at the Travel Photography Club awards by the Wandering Lens in 2025. These accolades fuel my passion and commitment to capturing the essence of everyday life through my photography.
From my recent travels..
