A beautifully lit tea estate in the upcountry of Sri Lanka…. The gentle sun illuminating the tea bushes and the area at the back shroud in mist made me an appealing image.

‘Thambili’ seller

This lady, taking cover from the slight drizzle, with a man’s umbrella on this wet and gloomy day, was at her make shift perch trying to sell king cocoanuts at the Negombo fisheries market. Apparently, sales have not been that good.

Beauty and the vendor

We were at a portrait session with a few students and seeing the delicate and interesting lighting, got this model to make a purchase at the cart selling king-coconuts and mangoes; both fresh and pickled.

A warm image of lass playing the violin…the lighting, the diagonal line and the strings with subtle curves for me is music to the eye.

Girls on a mission

I was amused in the way that these girls in pristine white, were purposefully making their way along a rural roadway in Negombo, Sri Lanka. The bicycles leaning against each other in some way, added to the interest of this image.
