About Me
Hi, I’m Kav, a professional writer and travel and landscape photographer, based on the outskirts of London, in leafy Surrey.
My photography journey began at university where I had to learn photography as part of my degree. This was in the early days of digital photography so I had to learn using film and my time was spent in darkrooms developing film.
Over the years since then, I have worked on various assignments as well as for commercial clients. My travel images are represented by various high-end stock agencies such as 4Corners Images and AWL and they have been used by the likes of Condé Nast, National Geographic, Wanderlust travel magazine, Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, American Express, Daily Mail, Sunday Times Travel, Express, The Guardian and many more.
I’m also a judge on one of the UK’s biggest photography contests, the Wanderlust Travel Magazine Photography of the Year competition. I have given talks at camera clubs and events such as the Destination Show in London as well as being a regular writer for Wanderlust Travel Magazine, Digital Photographer, Digital Photography School (one of the most popular photography sites on the internet), LifePixel and ExpertPhotography websites. Over the years I have written over 500 articles on travel or photography.
Alongside writing and photography, I also lead small group photo tours and workshops around the world in a relaxed and fun environment.
