From the Passenger Seat

This is a series of photographs taken from the front seat of a moving car on a road trip through Ladakh in late 2022. Shot across 2,500 kilometres—through dust trails, river bends, mountain passes where the air thins, and weather that changed by the hour—I had my camera, and the view through a moving window. No stops, no second chances.

The window became my lens. It filtered how I saw things, and it shaped what I could capture. Framing happened in seconds, but that limitation became the point.

These images aren't composed in the traditional sense. They're glimpses—fleeting, partial, sometimes imperfect. Framed by instinct and timing. They reflect the way we often move through places: observing, but never fully inside them. They're small observations along the journey—changing landscapes, shifting terrain, colours that came and went, as we moved through light and shadow; moments that passed before I could think too hard about them. That's what I like about them.

It's a departure from how I usually shoot. But something about the rhythm of the road—the way it moves past you whether you're ready or not—felt right. These photos are my attempt to keep up.
