A Photo Essay

“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.” – Edward Steichen

Nepal is one of my favourite travel destinations, with its remarkable historic sites, breathtaking landscapes, and welcoming people.

Children of Nepal is a photo essay inspired by my travels through the country. The photographs capture encounters and everyday moments with children in Kathmandu, the Annapurna Mountains, and the Chitwan region.

Throughout my journey, I was struck by the children’s curiosity and enthusiasm. Many were delighted to have their photographs taken and even more excited to see their portraits on the camera’s LCD screen. Despite the difficult living conditions in some of the places I visited, their smiles, spontaneity, and natural curiosity left a lasting impression on me.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” – Aaron Siskind
