About
The photographer
Rohan Nair photographs the places that change him: a bazaar in Mumbai, the high passes of Ladakh, a lake city in Ohio that became a second home, and the dark skies above all of them.
He shoots with whatever the moment allows, from a phone in his pocket to a full-frame camera to a telescope pointed at Cygnus, and edits every frame himself.
This site is a short story told in seventy frames. Take your time with it.
