Postcards from Delhi
0000-00-00 00:00:00 Here's a couple of pictures that I took yesterday in Old Delhi . Chandni Chowk is inevitably high on the photographer's list of "must-see" places in Delhi, as is the Djamaa Masjid, the largest mosque in, I think, the Indian sub-continent. Of course, I can't resist the panning technique in places like ...
Mitchell Kanashkevich: Seeing the Light eBook
0000-00-00 00:00:00 I've always found that the difficulty of using flash, or strobe, lighting in the field is that it can be difficult to achieve a look that isn't artificial. Natural light is everything in the work that I do and I'll base my working day around the times of day when ... More About: Ebook , Light
Delhi: Exuberance in the monsoon rain
0000-00-00 00:00:00 Exuberant: adjective, filled with or characterized by a lively energy and excitement I don't think you could find a much better visual definition of "exuberance" than when the school children of Delhi were set home earlier this week after constant rain left floods across much of the city.

Bhutan: Tourist photo theft and Gangrithang Primary School
0000-00-00 00:00:00 One of the main aims of my photo workshops and tours is to encourage participants to appreciate the culture of the location that they are visiting.

The giggling schoolgirls of the Ura Valley, Bhutan
0000-00-00 00:00:00 One of the highlights of our recent Bhutan Photo Expedition was a day trip to the Ura Valley. The Lonely Planet describes Ura Village as "Forty closely packed houses along cobblestone streets...giving it a medieval atmosphere". Jackie Rado and I had left the main Lakhang and were walking through the village, ...
Catalogue People
0000-00-00 00:00:00 By way of a small distraction from the serious business of photographing Bhutan and the autumn tsechus, members of our group would occasionally descend into the kind of eccentric behaviour that can seem wildly amusing - at the time. On this day, we found that adopting the poses of models ... More About: People
