These 5 photos are part of my bigger series called Frozen Paradise,
“If there be a paradise on the Earth, it is this, it is this, it is this… reads
one of the verses coined by Firdaus, a poet in Mughal emperor
Shahjahan’’s court, which praises the Kashmir Valley for its
incomparable beauty”
I went there in winter only to see and capture Kashmir differently than
others. Snow is a great opportunity for photographers, especially those
who work in black and white.
Here in this photo series i try to express the surreal beauty of the
valley normally hidden in other season, due to heavy snowfall Kashmir
was cut our from rest of the country (India) on Feb 2015 beginning,
which gives me a great opportunity to explore the paradise alone
without much disturbance, it was a silent and solitary journey, very
quiet and peaceful.
