It has been a while since I last updated the page. I have been busy with work, and shooting. About time I add more images. I couldn’t find a more appropriate time to do this than now. Just returned from 18-days photography expedition in Dao Cheng/Yading, China. It has been a very memorable expedition. The trip too, has marked a new era in my photography. Most of the images were shot using the newly acquired Mamiya RZ Pro II.
I was also fortunate enough to witness some of the most spectacular lighting in my photography career. Do click on the samples below to see what I mean.
Enough said, click here to see my latest works.
