About

I am a freelance photographer and videographer specializing in visual documentation, outdoors and exploration.

Having started a career in photography in 2015, I was hired to shoot UTMR and UTMB, the world’s largest trail running race in the Alps, by September 2017. I have since been involved in a number of documentary assignments with INGOs like the UN Habitat, UNRCO and several independent development projects. More recently I worked as the photographer for the United Nations Nepal to cover its response to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, and also as a videographer for a Yeti documentary in Everest and Mustang regions in 2021.

Visuals I have captured, along with stories, have been widely published in a number of international and Nepali media outlets, including the National Geographic and the Royal Geographical Society. Additionally, my work has been featured on the cover of nine international magazines, reports and books. I am comfortable shooting in any situation and environment, be it humid flats or freezing Himalayas.

When it comes to photography, I am trigger happy.

Fast learner, adaptable

I’m always eager to learn a new trade in problem solving. Besides analytics (which I am formally trained in), all the skills I’ve acquired are self taught. I easily adapt to changes and tackle unfavorable situations.

Uncompromised results

I am result-oriented. I get work done on time, even if that means depriving myself of sleep, leisure or rest, if situation arises. This translates to nothing short of the best I can deliver.

Happy clients

I see that the final product I deliver meets clients’ expectation, and I do not settle until all parties walk out happy. Most of my projects that I am involved in are with returning clients. See reviews
