I’m Monali, the heart behind Lens of Monali, and I’m so glad you’re here. A little something about me, I never thought I’d trade my lab coat for a camera, but here I am, living a life I didn’t expect—and one I wouldn’t trade for anything. For years, I was a biotech researcher, But somewhere along the way, I felt a quiet ache—a longing I couldn’t ignore. There was this pull toward something softer, something that let me connect with people, not just cells under a microscope. That something was photography. Photography isn’t just my craft—it’s my way of holding space for your story.every time I picked up my camera, I felt alive in a way I hadn’t before. It wasn’t just about taking pictures; it was about seeing people—really seeing them—and giving them something tangible to hold onto: their joy, their tears, their messy, beautiful stories. I know how fleeting life’s moments can be, and I feel honored to freeze them for you—not just as pictures, but as feelings you can revisit forever.
