Capturing life through the lens

Behind the Lens

Hi, I'm Shanu

Photographer, traveler and storyteller. What started as walks with a camera became a way of seeing — slowing down, waiting for light, and letting nature set the schedule.

I share what I find as photographs and short films: deer slipping through morning mist, storks raising their young, mountain trails above the clouds.
