Cold Desert Landscape, Nubra Valley, Leh, India
Located about 150 kilometers north of Leh, Nubra Valley forms part of the northernmost region of Jammu & Kashmir. Known for its cold desert terrain, the stretch between Diskit and Hunder features sand dunes set against snow-capped mountains, with scattered patches of green within the rugged landscape. As daylight recedes, a long exposure records the […]
Mountain Lines, Leh, India
Leh’s landscape appears stark and expansive in black and white, shaped by shifting light and cloud shadows. Narrow roads cut across the mountains, marking human presence within a largely barren terrain, while snow-capped peaks in the background contrast with the dry, desert-like foreground. Captured while crossing one of the world’s highest motorable passes, Khardung La, […]
Sunset For The Forgotten, Berrow Beach, England
Months before the shoot, I was looking for a change of scenery from the usual woodlands and forests I frequent. I ended up finding the location of the SS Nornen, an old Norwegian ship stranded there since 1897. Straight away, I knew I wanted to do a panoramic image of the wreck with the sun […]
The Wave Squared, Arizona, Coconino, USA
On my third trip to this amazing place, I decided I’d play around more with compositions and experiment with different views and angles, and this is one that I really liked.
Breaking Waves, Hirtshals, Nordjylland, Denmark
I took this photograph in Hirtshals on April 5th, when Storm Dave reached the Danish northwest coast. I went there with the intention of studying how the sea would move at the harbour entrance under strong wind and shifting conditions. What I found interesting was how the waves didn’t come from a single direction. They […]
Eilean Donan Castle, Dornie, Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland
Photo taken at sunset in March at the magnificent Eilean Donan Castle. I stayed there for over half an hour, waiting for the perfect moment—the beautiful light on the snow-capped mountains. I tried several long exposures, but this one is still my favorite.
Queen Garden, Viterbo, Italy
I took this picture in Bagnaia – Villa Lante. I always love to go around this garden, which is always full of the scent of nature.
Ruby Road, White Pocket, Arizona, USA
Ruby Road highlights the bold geometry and colour that define this remote desert landscape. I was drawn to the deep crimson striations carving their way across the sweeping sandstone slope, leading to intricate white rock formations that rise in the distance like ancient sculptures. I felt that the sharp contrast between ruby reds and weathered […]
The Zone System Dunes, Great Sand Dunes Monument, Colorado, USA
In 1990, I had an opportunity to attend a Howard Bond (RIP) workshop at The Great Sand Dunes Monument in Colorado. I was photographing in B&W exclusively at that time, using Kodak TMax 100 4×5 sheet film. Carrying my 35lb backpack and tripod up the dunes was not an easy task, but once we got […]
Hiking Trail Around Mount Kailash, Tibet
The trail around Mount Kailash provides some spectacular scenery of towering mountains. The scene shows a dry riverbed with a few waterfalls on the mountainsides. This cold desert region is covered with deep snow during the winter. Mount Kailash and the hiking trail are on the left of the image.
