This is a guy I know here in Nepal. From London originally where he worked in graphic design and photography for branding and advertising. For over a year he has been in India and Nepal taking some great photographs. Something in his approach yields fantastic results. I think just patience, empathy and a passion for representing the people he pictures. Perhaps he would disagree. I recommend downloading the photo journals, 7 in all. I have a lot of catching up to do.
