Seeing his dedication, flexibility, and positive energy, we would gladly work with him again!

Manon le Signor

Anuj has an incredible gift for capturing special moments and situations in a visual language. Furthermore, I experienced the collaboration with Anuj as extremely professional, efficient and goal-oriented.

Franzi Gissler

I know of very few photographers talented enough to capture stories in their pictures. Anuj does this effortlessly. His curation talent also ensures you get a complete story in photos and videos.

Raj Gyawali

We were delighted to work with Anuj, and we completed three assignments with him so far. His work made a real difference in how we can share these stories responsibly and powerfully.

Ms Manisha

Anuj captures life as it is, beautiful images that, while respecting the dignity of the subjects, still also shows harsh realities. He is very reliable and quick to communicate.

Bruno Deceukelier

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.

Beatrice Lessi

I would highly recommend Anuj to anyone who needs a professional visual content creator based in Kathmandu and mobile enough to move anywhere.

Tashi Bista

He has a skill for extracting a cohesive story out of seemingly random pieces of footage, and a great eye for editing right timings. More recently, I watched him transition from behind the camera to behind the scenes of the fantastic Snail Trail Series, a trail race in Kathmandu.

Sitara Grewal

Anuj does everything it takes to finish a task he takes responsibility of, and he does it as perfectly as possible.

Irfan Khan

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.

Tayte Pollmann

His photos are great – magazine quality. You get a great selection, good for magazine covers, center spreads and for general posting on Facebook etc. He will work all night to get a job done on time. Not many people do this.

Richard Bull

Anuj communicates efficiently; his initiative and work ethics are exemplary. He welcomes my questions, is open to learning and will do all that is necessary to find a solution. I highly recommend Anuj if you are looking for a motivated, reliable professional.

Jill Wheatley

I can think of few freelancers who have been as dependable as Anuj was, or whose work I have enjoyed reading and developing more. His gaze is never intrusive and his tales, though fantastic, is never essentializing. Anuj’s work is always authentic, witty and incisive.

Sanjit Bhakta Pradhananga

Always working with initiative and a sense of humour Anuj captured some of the unique features of our Ultra Tour Monte Rosa. The result was a great set of photos we could share on social media to give our community a new insight and to excite them about the race.

Lizzy Hawker

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...

Jamie Ross Mackenzie

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.

Sarah Levine

Anuj is an exceptionally gifted writer and a meticulous editor. His wit and quirkiness seep into his writing, making any piece such a delight to read. I find his work experiential and immersive and wish he would write more.

Akriti Shilpakar

Anuj is the best in town at what he does. He specializes in outdoor photography and videography, and is especially brilliant in outdoor sports events. He goes the extra mile for awesome shots which makes all the difference.
