Tannaz Bahnam has travelled the world twice over and worked in numerous places but only since this Iranian beauty landed in Nigeria in 2008 has she really blossomed. She has exhibited her photographs of her extensive travels, she is the brand marketer for the colourful Ice-Watch and most recently - among other things - she set up her lifestyle website, www.LostInLagos.com.

Pictures, latte and ice

Tannaz Bahnam moved to Lagos in January 2008 for a six-month project with National Geographic. “During my report with the National Geographic, I met my Lebanese husband here and once the project finished, I stayed,” she says with a contagious smile. Although she holds a master’s degree in diplomacy, it has proven rather irrelevant on her chosen career path; she is definitely a jack of all trades.

“Because of my passion for travelling and exploring, photography plays an important role in my life,” says Tannaz. Taking photographs was a means for her to document her daily lifestyle; from varying cultures to cityscapes, Tannaz discovered and captured it all. She has even had her photos exhibited at the Life House in Lagos.
