While hiking in the Himalayan Mountains I came across a family of Bakarwal nomads who were packing up to move south for the winter. They were curious about westerns so they invited us in for a cup of Chai. The tea was prepared over an open fire by this gentlemen's daughter in law. Just as we were about to leave I captured this image with the light coming in through the window and naturally lighting his face and just enough contract for the steam coming off the chai.
I’m Greg Pukas, I am not just a photographer; I'm a storyteller with a camera addiction and a severe case of wanderlust. I don't chase sunsets or iconic landmarks. I seek the world's hidden beauty: the fleeting dance of light on cobblestones at dawn, the vibrant hues in a bustling market hidden down a dusty alley, the captivating story etched in the wrinkles of a local's face. With every click, I hope to transport you, not just to a location, but to an experience - the taste of unfamiliar spices, the warmth of local smiles, the awe of witnessing something extraordinary.
