"Photojournalism is what we leave for future generations about what we do today. I have no agenda as a photojournalist. And what stories I report on depend very much on the opportunity to do so and whether I have the time....".

I picked up a camera at age 9 and thus began my journey as a photographer. I graduated as a graphic designer/photographer from the University of the Arts, at London's Central St. Martins and embarked on a career that brought me to many new cities and countries and introduced me to an amazing assortment of interesting people. Fashion Photography is not all I have ever done as a career. Having a passion for WildLife, People and Cultures, i was so glad to have moved back to my homeland in Sri Lanka four years ago. Having an interest in writing I got into journalism, I always wanted to do story telling through my photography and it was by chance that the world of journalism and media came looking for me.
Today I am a freelance selfpublished journalist representing the London based News Agency Demotix, in Sri Lanka, covering stories from a much wider perspective from the social and the political world to Fashion Sport & Travel as well.

Photography has become part of my identity and is such a vital part of me that it has become a part of my greater Self.
I am self-published and also have my very own wildlife article known as WILD-FUSION that circulates in Colombo's Latest lifestyle magazine "This That and the Other or TTO, which reports on conservation, wild life and tourism in and around SRI LANKA.
When it comes to photography I remain behind the camera, capturing the spirit of a scene locking in those precise moments that either makes or breaks the perfect image.

I welcome you to my world, a Colombo based photographer with over 15 years experience available for assignments worldwide!
Welcome to my world as I see it.
Enjoy!
