Travel Photography

 

 

 

travel photography, photojournalism, world wide

My involvement in travel photography began as principal photographer for a travel guide called the " Discovery Guide to Outback Queensland". A 350 page book about the places and people of outback Queensland. I spent a total of twelve weeks travelling throughout outback Queensland and clocked up around thirty-thousand kilometres by road. (Photographs from this project are owned by the publisher and can't be shown on this web site).

The images in the photo-gallery below are mostly from the northern Indian provinces of Kashmir and Ladahk. Though next to each other on the map, these two areas are very different. Predominately Muslim, Kashmir includes the greener pastures and forests of the Himalayan foothills while Buddhist Ladahk is a high altitude desert situated around the source of the Indus River, high in the Himalayas. There are only a few roads in Ladahk and many areas can only be accessed by foot. These images were taken before increasing tensions in the region brought about a sharp decline in tourism. The security situation, particularly in Kashmir, is still a problem, but tourism is again increasing.

These photographs were taken on medium format colour negative film with Hasselblad equipment.
