About
Hi, I’m Ronit.
A designer and developer in Kathmandu who shoots from a distance, straight out of camera. This page is a scrapbook of where the camera has taken me so far: the streets I walk, the festivals I squeeze into, and the places I climb up to.
Streets
Most days start with a walk and no plan. An 85mm lens keeps me a few steps back — far enough that people forget the camera, close enough to see their faces.

Festivals
Jatra season is when the city turns itself inside out. Swords, masks, chariots and smoke — I get into the crowd and wait for the second the noise turns into a picture.
More festivals →
Temples
Stupas, shrines and stone gods on every corner. I keep going back to the same ones, because the light is never the same twice.

Mountains
When the city gets too loud, I go up. Cold mornings, long waits, and the few minutes when the peaks catch fire.

From above
And sometimes I send the camera up instead. From up there, the valley looks like a map someone drew by hand.

How I work
From a distance
A long lens and a few steps back. People forget the camera is there, and that’s when the real frame happens.
Light first
I follow light more than subjects. If the light is right, something always walks into it.
Straight out of camera
No heavy edits, no filters. What you see is what the camera saw, the way the moment looked.
