Bespoke photography journeys across India, Nepal and Sri Lanka — designed entirely around what you want to capture.
Hero · signature festival portraitSome photographers just want the plan — the route only a photographer would draw, and the local knowledge to make it work — and prefer to book and travel it themselves. Others want to hand over the entire thing and simply carry the camera.
So we offer both. Choose the level of support that fits how you like to travel.
With Design & Advisory we hand you the complete plan and you make it happen yourself. With Fully Managed, we make it happen for you.
We plan your journey. You book and travel it yourself.
You get an expert, ready-to-use plan — then you handle the bookings and travel independently, with us on call for questions.
Best for: confident, independent travellers who want the expert plan but keep control of their own logistics and budget.
We plan it and run it. You arrive with a camera; we've handled the rest.
Everything in Design & Advisory — but we book it, arrange it and coordinate it all on the ground, so you spend every ounce of energy on the images.
Best for: travellers who want zero logistics, small private groups, anyone who'd rather spend their time behind the camera.

The short answer: anywhere in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. We've photographed nearly every corner of all three — from the famous festivals to villages that never make a map. The regions below are just a few we love, not a menu and not the limit.
Point your camera at the masked Chhau dancers leaping through the eastern hills, or the Gomira masks spinning through a Bengal village. Stand on the ghats of Varanasi as first light hits the river, then come back for Dev Deepawali, when a million lamps turn the water to fire. Get lost in the indigo lanes of Jodhpur, the Blue City; wake before dawn for the Pushkar Camel Fair; disappear into the colour of the flower Holi of Braj and the warrior spectacle of Hola Mohalla in Punjab. Then go further than most ever do: the masked Cham dances of Hemis in Ladakh, the fire-lit Theyyam of Kerala, the living-root bridges of Meghalaya. Deserts, mountains, festivals, coast — whatever you came to shoot, it's waiting.
Wander the medieval Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, where temple life spills into every corner of the frame. Photograph the sadhus and cremation fires of Pashupatinath and the masked processions of Indra Jatra. Trek into Upper Mustang to the walled Tibetan kingdom of Lo Manthang, a high-desert world of red-rock canyons and cliffside monasteries hidden behind the Annapurna mountains. Or chase the high, clean light of the Everest and Annapurna regions, past Sherpa and Thakali villages and prayer flags snapping against the snow. Nepal gives you far more than the trekking postcard — and you'll want every frame of it.
Head deep into the Tamil north for Jaffna and the wild ponies and empty light of Delft Island, or the towering chariots of the Nallur festival. Climb to the golden cave temples of Dambulla and the summit of Sigiriya, then ride the old blue train through the tea country to Ella. Time your trip for the torch-lit elephants and fire dancers of the Kandy Esala Perahera, catch the stilt fishermen balanced over the southern surf at first light, and finish among the leopards of Yala. One small island, north to south, temple to tide — and it's all yours to shoot.
