In this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson speaks with award-winning landscape and cityscape photographer Ridhima Singh about balancing a full-time career in IT finance with a fast-growing photography portfolio.

Ridhima only picked up her first mirrorless camera a few years ago, yet her work has already gained significant recognition, including winning the landscape category at the British Photography Awards, as well as success in the International Garden Photographer of the Year and the Neutral Density Photography Awards.

After moving to the UK, photography became Ridhima’s way of connecting with new places, people and experiences. What began as phone photography on solo trips soon evolved into a deep love of landscape photography, particularly after a transformative trip to Iceland. Since then, she has pursued big landscapes, dramatic light and moments that evoke a powerful sense of awe.

In this conversation, Ridhima shares how photography has helped her navigate challenging periods in her life, how competitions have accelerated her growth, and why external validation can ease imposter syndrome. She also talks about planning shoots around a demanding job, learning through feedback, and pushing herself creatively in familiar locations like London.

This episode is full of insight for anyone trying to grow their photography while juggling a busy career, proving that you do not need to choose between stability and creativity.
