I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Anuj during my time at ECS Nepal and The Kathmandu Post where we commissioned a variety of work from him including photo essays, travelogues and feature stories. Whatever Anuj was assigned, or he pitched himself, he delivered with finesse — a rarity for freelancers in Kathmandu’s mediascape. I can think of few freelancers who have been as dependable as Anuj was, or whose work I have enjoyed reading and developing more.
Given the breadth of his experiences travelling locally — and among locals — Anuj’s writing is imbued with a grounded sensibility that is all too rare for writers writing about Nepal. His gaze is never intrusive and his tales, though fantastic, is never essentializing. Whether he writes about trail runners in alpine boondocks up north or about hole-in-the-wall drinking holes in Kathmandu’s underbelly, Anuj’s work is always authentic, witty and incisive (and on time!) — a dream for any editor.

He went knee deep in freezing glacial water and ice just to get a good shot. He walked with 30 kg of equipment on his shoulders every day for 12 hours, at 3000 to 5000m elevations. A great professional with top notch skills and equipment, but above all a lovely, trustable person.

Anuj is one of the best photographers / videographers that I’ve worked with in the trail running community. He’s willing to put in the extra effort to find the best shooting locations. He knows how to capture the setting and mood of his subjects and has a talent for always getting the best shots.

Anuj is without doubt one of the best photographers I know. He sees the best in nature, can frame a subject in any landscape, and also capture an emotion in those more human moments. He has the professionalism, the skills, and an enthusiasm for photography that is infectious...

He is highly motivated, extraordinarily talented multimedia developer, who is dedicated to the completion of his assignments beyond expectations. He has a firm grasp of what it means to be one of the best in the region. Anuj's expert knowledge of visuals coupled with his desire for perfectionism makes his skills something I wholeheartedly endorse.
