Two heads off the dance floor
Saw this pic when I was going through my archives. Shot about 2 years ago, when we were shooting a wedding in Goa.

Shooting kids games for ASDA

Wasn’t really sure if I could deliver when he wanted me to shoot some kids games and dance movement, but I have this issue of not being able to say no 🙂
Exporting Indian culture to the USA

Our little way of saying thank you, for all the little things you taught us, and the movement you shared with the memebers of Tarantismo.
