It was the end of 2004 on the southwest coast of India in a small fishing village when i began my journey into photography. My teacher Sebran Dargent kept his instructions simple “photograph what you see”. These words gave me the freedom I needed to express myself and inspired the compassion with which I photograph.…

At the April meeting PhotoBath members had a chance to try their hand at curating images for an imagined exhibition.

My goal is to move people, like a piece of music. Within photography, I explore humanity as I experience it. My images appeal to sensory perception more than to that of the mind. By using black and white, contrast and grain, a parallel world is being created. An abstract. A world in which light and…
