ABOUT ME
Margo Ryan
I am a travel photographer from London living in Italy.
I have always been fascinated and curious by the natural world and the worlds diverse cultures.
I graduated with a BSc in zoology from UCL.
I’m passionate about travel and this is when I first picked up a camera.
I’m a travel photographer with a focus on people I’m constantly looking for a connection
to be able to get that revealing portrait or witnessing the simple everyday life events
trying to capture a fleeting moment and record it candidly with the use of ambient light.
I love photographing life in colour, always seeking the perfect light and atmosphere.
I’m especially attracted back to Madagascar and Burma (Myanmar)
for their natural beauty, people and culture.
