Q. It’s been over 30 years since you started your travel adventure carrying your camera along to capture one of the rawest forms of your surroundings and customs. What motivates you to pursue this lifestyle?

A. I still hope to prepare a baggage and go to the airport. If I am not traveling, I am preparing for the next destination or, simply, dreaming about wonderful destinations. Being able to get so many sensations with a simple click, makes you addicted to this lifestyle. I always thought that as I grow older, the excitement of traveling would wane and that I would focus on other more comfortable photographic fields, but today, I still think that I have many images to capture, many countries to travel and much to learn from other cultures.

Q. You have traced your path along the Asian land majorly covering parts of India, Nepal and Indonesia. What was the inspiration leading you while travelling to these countries?
