It says something when merely looking at an image can take you back to that moment. The sounds, smells, and terror. Terror is perhaps too strong. But it’s close. Walking aimlessly around Ho Chi Minh City just as commuters were heading home and suddenly we […]

June 2015 | São Marcos da Serra, Portugal
T shot always takes me back. A flood of memories of incredibly happy times. I think I can feel the calm summer breeze on my face and smell the air just looking at this photo. At times, Portugal almost felt like a second home. Countless […]

February 2016 | Riffa, Bahrain
There’s a certain amount of luck for me and photography. Being at the right place at the right time. I think luck was with me when I got this shot. I could have been around the other side of Riffa Fort or looking in another […]

She Glows
It is so bright at night. The skyline in the city is lit up by not just streetlights, but the buildings themselves. Hotels and apartment blocks are all adorned in some of the most garish light shows. But it’s a great excuse to get the […]

Progress?
Construction is everywhere. Apartment blocks, malls, offices, villas—there’s something new getting built almost everywhere on this tiny island. Even the country itself is being “built”—land reclamation is happening at a rate that’s actually hurting the natural environment. Not a happy thought. There’s seemingly no sort […]
