Client Reviews

He was absolutely excellent, getting simply amazing footage and showing both creativity and dedication in his work. He was always proactive, reliable, hard working, and - importantly for such a long assignment - great company and fun to be with.

Andrew BenfieldDocumentary / Filmmaker

  • 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 LessiTrail Runner + Blogger Ask the Monsters

  • 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.

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

    Irfan KhanPhotographer Himalayan Creatives

  • 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 PollmannNike Runner + Writer Tayte on Trails

  • 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 WheatleyMountain Runner + Blogger Mountains of My Mind

  • 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 PradhanangaFormer Editor The Kathmandu Post

  • 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 HawkerRace Director Ultra Tour Monte Rosa

  • 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 MackenzieMountain Runner Everest Mailrun

  • 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 BullRace Director Trail Running Nepal

  • 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 LevineCo-Founder Himalayan Outdoor Center

  • He is a very hard working, multi-skilled and humble person, and is focused on making the best out of the moment. His love for mountains, culture, people and a simple life is evident, which is what makes him a great travel companion.

    Jagan TimilsinaFounding Director Freedom Adventures

  • 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 ShilpakarFormer Editor Fr!day Magazine

  • 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.

    Shikhar PandeEvent Organizer Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon

  • His photos portray vivid and fierce emotions of faces ranging from mountain bikers to mountaineers to travellers to wrinkly old ladies. I've seen him gaining respect and love from everyone effortlessly with his hard work, professionalism and dedication.

    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.

    Extensive experience in the mountains

    I have covered the highest running race (Everest Marathon) to the largest (UTMB). I can work long hours and walk long distances with camera gear at high elevations. See Assignment List

    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.

    No gimmicks, bullshit or excuses

    There is no complication when I’m working on a project. No hidden fees or nasty surprises. I sit with clients to thoroughly plan the approach, output and deadlines before starting, so everyone is on the same page.

    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
