About your local photographer
I am a storyteller, a visual poet capturing the soul of Nepal through the lens of my camera. Born and raised amidst the ancient tapestry of Kathmandu, Nepal, I discovered my passion for photography seven years ago, back in the corridors of high school. From that moment, the camera became an extension of my heart, weaving tales of life, culture, and landscapes that define the very essence of Nepal.”I started photography back in my high-school in 2015, since then I've taken photos in almost every places of Kathmandu Valley. My knowledge regarding the city and my capability of communicating with people is something I always cherish. If you're coming to Kathmandu and looking for someone to help you, then I'm definitely someone to book.

I have been photographimg with BS in Kathmandu Valley for 4 consecutive days in Kathmandu (Swayambunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath and Boudhanath Stupa) as well as Patan (Durbar Square, Golden Temple and Market) and Bakhtapur (Durbar Square ,Taumadhi Tol and Potters Square). Our focus was on street photography with a focus on portraiture, street scenes and a bit of cityscapes. BS is a very talented street photographer with outstanding interpersonal skills in convincing locals to be photographed also in comparison to many other professional photographers I have been shooting with. He was for example spontaneously able to talk to the father of the boy priest at the Golden Temple in Patan to convince him to have a more or less private portrait session, made a contact with the head Sadhu at Pashupatinath for a portrait session, made it possible to shoot monk novices in a monastry in Bakhtapur and encouraged many locals on the streets as well as monks to allow us to photograph them. Besides BS´s street photography skills he has also a very kind attitude with regards to personal communication and interaction. He invested a lot of time in setting up What`s App calls with me to work on an agenda for our photography to meet my expectations. Overall it has been a super nice experience being together and photographing with BS. I told him that he could easily double or triple his modest pricing and customers would still find a benefit doing photo tours with him. Photography wise I got many new ideas how to do street photography in countries with less strict privacy laws.As a summary I can only strongly recommend to go shooting in Kathmandu Valley together with BS as he will be able to create a completely different more authentic feeling on how life is in Nepal also from a photographic standpoint.
