Using long exposures, his camera finds winding forest trails, sometimes in the company of humans, sometimes in the company of moving strips of starry skies. The grandeur of the forest is intimidating and lends its invitation to only those who are unafraid of its uncertainties. (Photograph courtesy Dileep Prakash / PHOTOINK )
