I’ve hired Anuj for I think six assignments so far, so feel qualified to comment on his work and working style. Naturally I am very happy. I have signed him up for five pending assignments too, for the following reasons:
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 takes time out to make “fakies” picking photogenic runners taking them to key locations, to get the mega shot, if available, that gets picked up by photo editors.
The runners are happy to see themselves in such well laid out pictures. This year all of the runners signing up for the race are signing up for a photo package add-on, so we cover the cost of Anuj’s shoot time & edit time, plus assistant.
He puts in big effort when out on the course. For the races in Nepal he also has to walk the route every day (we have no roads) carrying up to 25 kg of equipment. The course is 170 km with 12,000+/- and at altitudes of 3500-5000m.
He will work all night to get a job done on time. Not many people do this.
He’s also good with video, interviews and drone filming, so we’re getting valuable, sharable clips for facebook etc. Obviously a choice has to be made between photos and video, but his capability is there.
He’s still young and hungry, and has the energy, motivation and skills to do a great job.

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.

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.

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.
