Navin Sakhuja brings precision and intimacy to landscape photography in A Thousand Shadows

- Bandeep Singh

A Thousand Shadows by Navin Sakhuja is, on the surface, a book of lavish landscapes. It holds images that have been created during his personal photographic trips into some of the most popular, pictorially rich landscape destinations of the world. The skilled camera gleans heaps of striking and aesthetically satisfying pictures. But then it has its own challenges.

The photographs first suffuse the mind's eye with their familiarity-with similar looking images that populate Google image searches, social media shares, travel and tourism sites, Living Planet documentaries and memories of National Geographic magazine.
