ABOUT
Lens and Lotus is the meeting place of visual truth and embodied beauty.
This is not just a photography service.
It’s a container for clarity — a space where your purpose, presence, and story come into focus. At Lens and Lotus, the process is as sacred as the outcome.
​
Whether you're a wellness practitioner, artist, activist, or conscious entrepreneur, you’re held in a space that invites authenticity, not performance. We move slowly. We work intuitively. We co-create images and strategy that reflect not only what you do, but who you are becoming.
​
Founded by Ursula Vari — a Nobel Peace Prize–nominated activist, documentary photographer, and published author — Lens and Lotus draws on over two decades of experience in storytelling, visual identity, and the healing arts. Ursula has worked across continents and causes with brands and individuals who seek meaning, not just marketing.
​
Her work has supported clients like ANIWA, Many Winters Gathering of Elders, Adidas, Red Bull, Veniceball, Sabato Magazine, Palestine Foundation, Los Angeles Magazine, YCO Active and many more. She has also documented grassroots movements, healing spaces, indigenous cultures, and the quiet revolutions of everyday people.
​
Through our creative process, you’ll receive images that feel alive — that speak your truth without saying a word. From soulful portraits to brand visuals and event coverage, everything is approached with reverence and care.
​
Lens and Lotus is a space that honors process. The beauty that emerges isn’t forced — it’s revealed. Just like the lotus, we rise through the in-between — and are seen in full bloom.
​
This is for those ready to be seen — not just as a brand, but as a presence.
This is for those who know their work has soul — and are ready to show it.
