About

Pallavi Laveti
Pallavi Laveti · Mumbai

Hi, I’m Pallavi — a former HR professional now walking two creative paths: one with a camera, as a wildlife photographer, and one with a pen, as a writer and documentary scriptwriter.

The Photography Journey

It began in 2018, with no formal background — and has since earned international awards. That path also led to Anyone Can Click, where I teach beginners through a structured “Matrix” method. The vision: from viewfinder to wall.

The Writing Journey

As a writer and documentary scriptwriter, I work with forest departments and independent filmmakers — including documentaries aired on Discovery — and have self-published a book, A Letter from the Sea.

Two different paths, one destination: work I love, close to nature — and, along the way, helping others find that connection too.
