Profile
I am a self learned photographer living on the eastern ends of Melbourne (Australia). Having born in Sri Lanka I spent good 26 years cherishing the forests, geography, flora, fauna, the people and the great culture of that tropical paradise before coming to Melbourne to further my career Engineering (Telecomm).
Photography always remained to me as a natural reaction than a planned outcome.
What you will find in my gallery is a collection of photos I shot mainly in Australia (a country that fascinated me by its vastness, openness and by its people) and in Sri Lanka. It also carries some photos I shot in and around Melbourne that shows the sophistication of this beautifully preserved Victorian city.
Any comments on my work both negative and positive are welcome and any criticism is guaranteed to receive well.
