While at sea in the Pacific Ocean, time stands still and the infinite expanse reminds us of our place in the world. Painting the moody seascapes with long exposure creates a canvas of colour.

When creating an image, Ulana is inspired by light, shape, and tone. Her simple, often minimal, compositions present an awareness and a connection with the subject whether it be landscape, portraiture or documentary work. Based in Hong Kong, Ulana's work has been exhibited and published internationally. Her passion is best expressed by a quote from a contemporary photographer: “If I weren’t a photographer, I’d still be a traveler”.
