Kashmir is a magnificent region of India. Referred to as a tropical paradise in old literature, there is no wonder why it has been the subject of many disputes and is now divided between India and Pakistan.

​

Kashmir is surrounded by Himalayan Mountain Ranges whose rivers have created large, beautiful lakes. I was so taken by the gorgeous scenery and by the warmth, openness and beauty of the people, who have gone through many conflicts.

​

I wasn’t sure what I would experience in Kashmir and found the people to be open, gentle, endearing, and ready to embrace a new, modern society. I was interested by their culture and their tumultuous history but I left hopeful for a new, peaceful and good future. I hope my images help express the heart and the soul of these fascinating people and their beautiful land.
