Monica Doshi: Capturing the World with Vision, Heart, and the Shimoda Designs Backpack
Posted by Monica Doshi on Aug 15th 2025
Photographer Monica Doshi has an eye for storytelling through her lens — capturing fleeting expressions, breathtaking landscapes, and moments that feel both intimate and universal. Her work is marked by a love of travel, culture, and the small details that bring a scene to life.
One of the tools she swears by on her photographic adventures is the Shimoda Action X V2 Woman's collection backpack. Known for its rugged build, customisable interior, and all-day comfort, the Shimoda backpack is more than just a gear carrier — it’s Monica’s mobile creative studio. Whether navigating cobblestone streets, trekking into rural landscapes, or preparing for an urban shoot, she relies on its thoughtful design to keep her camera kit safe, accessible, and organised.
“The Shimoda gives me the flexibility to be spontaneous. I can get my gear out quickly when I see the shot, and it carries so comfortably that I can keep going all day,” says Monica.
This Autumn, Monica will be taking her passion for photography on the road, delivering a series of talks to photography clubs across the UK. In these sessions, she will share insights on composition, travel photography, and the creative process — along with stories from the field and tips on working efficiently with minimal yet versatile kit.
