60 Seconds in the Himalayas


The Himalayas are more than 50 million years old, but in the last 50 years they have witnessed a huge change. Here’s a short time lapse from the magnificent Himalayas. Images from the past and the present that provoke us to think about the future of the Himalayas.

This film has been shot in Himanchal Pradesh, India. The city shown is Shimla, also known as the ‘Queen of the Hills’! Shot with Canon 600 D, 18-135mm lens.

New Images from Old Delhi

Old Delhi: A collection of images that tries to capture the chaos called life in Old Delhi. People, Rickshwas, Wires, Horns, Vendors, Carts and Monkeys. Everywhere you look images call to you.
