Tashiya is a documentary photographer, communications specialist and environmental advocate and who uses her combined knowledge of visual storytelling and conservation to create narratives that drive social change and highlight impacts of the environmental and climate crisis.
Tashiya grew up around the urban wetlands of Colombo, Sri Lanka and spent much of her early adulthood exploring the remote corners of this Island. These experiences set in motion an ongoing love affair with the wildness of this world and desire to re-connect people to it. Tashiya is the founder of 'Lost in Ceylon', a platform for adventures, storytelling, and activism. Through her work she hopes to create awareness, mobilise support, and inspire action.
Tashiya is currently studying for a masters in 'Photography and Society' at the Royal Academy of Art in Den Haag, Netherlands. She is available for short and long term assignments.
