Tatjana Kudla is a California-based photographer and writer whose work explores desert landscapes, public lands, and the relationship between people, place, and climate. For the past nine years, she has photographed the plants, animals, geological formations, and shifting light of the California desert. Her work invites viewers to see the desert as a living place, one worth slowing down for, celebrating, and protecting.
Her photography has been featured in group and juried exhibitions at 29 Palms Art Gallery, Joshua Tree Art Gallery, and the Joshua Tree National Park Association. She has deepened her practice through ongoing study with acclaimed photographers since 2018.
Tatjana is also the writer and creator of Cactus & Climate and No Heels Just Sneakers.
