Ladakhi Historian

Creative Notes

This is Tashi Robegais. We met him in a small second floor restaurant in Leh. I wanted to take his photograph because of his warmth and kind smile. It was only after I asked permission that I was made aware of his occupation. He is a famous Ladakhi Historian. His latest work is Ladakhi History and Change.

Technical Notes

I was forunate that Mr. Robegais was sitting in the corner facing the window so I could use available light. Even so, I had to give my camera a little extra ISO boost. It was a very colorful restaurant which made a nice background for his colorful face.
