About the Photographer

I run a shoe and garment business in the heart of Thimphu city called β€œInStyle Thimphu” and spend most of my time here. However, my soul always wanders in the mountains and rivers. During my free time, I like to go hiking, camping and fishing- and take photos of all these moments. 

I learned photography from my mentor Dr. Jesse Montes who is from Canada -back in 2014 and since then my interest in photography has come a long way. 

Photography has given me a new perspective on how to look at our tradition and culture in a much more appreciative manner. I hope my photographs will do the same for the new generations in nurturing and appreciating the beauty we still have.
