Meet Larisa: The Eye Behind the Lens

A passionate photographer and visual storyteller, Larisa brings The Travelling Telegraph’s travel stories to life through compelling imagery that captures the character, atmosphere and beauty of the world. Her work goes beyond documenting a destination, revealing the details, people and moments that make each place distinctive.

As a photographer for The Travelling Telegraph, Larisa plays an important role in shaping how readers experience the publication. Through her images, she complements the written word, adding depth, emotion and a sense of place to the stories that inspire readers to explore further. From striking landscapes and architectural details to authentic local experiences, her photography helps convey the essence of a destination.

Larisa understands that great travel photography is about more than simply capturing a beautiful view. It is about observation, timing and perspective — recognising the small details that others might overlook and finding the image that tells a wider story. Her approach helps create a visual connection between the reader and the places featured in the publication.

Working alongside The Travelling Telegraph’s editorial team, Larisa contributes to the publication’s distinctive visual identity, ensuring that photography plays a meaningful role in its travel journalism. Her images help bring destinations, stays and experiences into focus, supporting the publication’s aim of offering readers engaging, inspiring and authentic travel content.

For Larisa, photography is a way of preserving the feeling of a place — its atmosphere, character and sense of discovery. Every image offers an opportunity to tell a story, evoke a memory or encourage someone to see the world from a different perspective.

Through her work with The Travelling Telegraph, Larisa helps turn travel experiences into lasting visual stories, inviting readers to look closer, discover more and find inspiration for their own journeys.
