CatchLight, A look into the eyes of North India, is a delightful collection of photographs from Northern India notable, Delhi, Agra and Kashmir.The photographs are by Matt Brandon.

Matt Brandon has been shooting pictures since he was 10 years old with his father's Cannonet QL Rangefinder. He and his dad processed his first images in a darkroom built under the basement stairs. Captured by a basic photography course in High School, he went on to pursue Photography in depth at university. And ever since he has traveled and lived in South Asia for over a decade.

CatchLight

In Matt's own words ,"Catchlight" is truly a deep look into the eyes of the people of North India. It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul. In this book, I try to reach inside those photographed to let their soul speak. In these environmental portraits from Delhi, Agra and Kashmir."

Rafting on River Beas

WHITE WATER RAFTING

River rafting in the dazzling white waters of the Himalayan Rivers is the best in the world, with great rapids that challenge the body, invigorate the mind and the spirit. There are many river-rafting regions here which suit both professionals as well as amateur rafters. 

The magic behind white water rafting is the extreme and never-ending thrills in the untamed rivers. 
It’s that inexplicable feeling of incredible peace found in the act of flowing with the astounding current of the river.
One of the most magnificent white water rafting experiences one can have 
would be on River Beas.
The Beas River, one of the four major Himachal Rivers, rises from Rohtang Pass and flows through the Kully valley. Beas has, right from Manali till Jhiri, close to Bajaura in Kullu district, become a favorite among the river rafting lovers. On this 20 kms stretch, there...
