LEANA CLUNIES-ROSS, PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER

If money were no object, what one piece of iconic design would you buy?

The Chrysler Building in New York City. It’s stunning, from the street all the way up to its terraced crown.

A regular contributor to VISI, Leana has shot fashion and beauty editorials, covers, and campaigns for local and international clients. She’s also an accomplished writer, who in this issue explores the remarkable Aramness lodge in Gir National Park, India (page 66). Over the course of her career, she says she’s learnt to “steal away” time to do fine art photography – and to travel to as many new gardens as possible. She’s recently started studying horticulture part-time, with the ultimate aim of combining her passions for garden design, photography, and writing about horticulture, design and botanical themes.
