About Beyond Borders: Nepal & Egypt
Shooting in locations like Giza or Kathmandu isn't about setting up a perfect frame; it is about timing and trust. When I photograph a local Sadhu or a camel handler, I spend time just being present first so the lens does not feel like an intrusion. Whether you need travel visuals for a brand or memories from your own expedition, I shoot for the raw, real moment rather than the staged, postcard version.
When I take my work abroad, the goal remains the same as it is in India: to capture the unscripted rhythm of daily life. In Nepal, that meant blending into the crowded temple courtyards of Kathmandu, waiting for the light to hit a Sadhu's face just right. In Egypt, it was about finding the silence amidst the scale of the pyramids, focusing on the people, like the camel handlers, who carry the history of that desert in their eyes.
Technically, international shoots require agility. I use compact cinema-grade equipment like the Leica Q2, which allows me to be non-intrusive. For larger projects, I bring along my drone to capture the sheer vastness of landscapes like the Giza plateau. My process is simple: I arrive, I observe, and then I capture. I deliver high-resolution images with signature color grading within 5 to 7 days, ensuring the final files retain that moody, cinematic quality I am known for. If you are planning an expedition or need a visual diary for your project that goes beyond standard travel photography, let's talk about the logistics and the story you want to tell.
