Four Seasons of Kashmir Book

This book captures the essence of a remarkable country, showcasing its beauty and tranquillity amidst challenging circumstances. Upon arrival, the presence of numerous soldiers along the borders with India, Pakistan, and China initially unsettled me. Despite the tensions of war, I found solace at a Hotel on the Dal Lake, where I was the sole guest. An encounter with a local fisherman led me to the heart of the lake, surrounded by lotus flowers and mirrored snow-capped mountains. In that moment, nature's splendour eclipsed the reminders of conflict and military presence. Indeed, this destination is truly extraordinary.

A Portrait of the Tree Exhibition/Book

A Portrait of the Tree was conceived as a way of illustrating how trees connect us all on a universal level. The stories behind the chosen subjects are as important as the images themselves. Together they offer a powerful tool to help educate people, from children through to adults, about the vital role that trees play in all of us lives. After all, if there were no trees on the planet, we wouldn’t be here either.”


‘The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself’ -
William Blake
