The photography bug caught me in the late '90s when I discovered an old but still working DSLR sitting in my basement. I've been pursuing photography as a hobby ever since. I love chasing that elusive unique photographic moment that occurs everywhere around us, every day in our lives but we often miss as we are too busy to look up.
I was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka but now live in Toronto, Canada. I love to travel with a camera around my neck and a Tilley hat on my head. I like chocolate chip cookies, drink a lot of tea with milk, and wear jeans 95% of the year.
What's my favourite type of photography? People. Candid portraits and street photography have been the styles of photography I’ve focused on the most recently. I’ll often attach a 35mm prime lens and walk around all day looking for interesting scenes. Though I do enjoy other types of photography, I find the photos that I love to look at again and again are the ones of people with a unique expression on their faces or are involved in a special moment. I look to magazines such as National Geographic and photographers like Steve McCurry for inspiration in this regard.
Thank you for visiting my site - I hope you enjoy going through the photos here as much as I enjoyed taking them.
