The Arc de Triomphe in Paris can be called another centre of Paris. After all, there are 12 (yes, twelve) avenues (roads) in a decagonal configuration which lead out from the Arc de Triomphe. In this article I share about the preparation, the way I shot the image itself and the post processing that went into creating the final photograph.

Amsterdam is synonymous with water. In fact, most of the city is below sea level and many areas have been reclaimed from the sea by building dams and protective dykes over the centuries as population and trade has grown. And it is still growing by reclaiming more and...

Paris is beautiful. Well, do I need to tell you that. Of course it is, and is certainly a paradise for any aspiring photographer. I took this shot last week during my trip to Paris from atop the Montparnasse Tower. The view from the 59th floor is just amazing. We...

From the time I have started this project, I have walked in many Amsterdam streets which you would normally not. These are not tourist spots, not even main roads while a lot of traffic passes by, but yet this is Amsterdam. These are the streets on the side, which are...

It was more of an on-the-spot exploration than preparation that helped me make this image. I went there to make a completely different image, but came back with something with a fresh perspective which was even better.
