Jagadish Tiwari
Jagadish Tiwari's passion for his work and love and respect for the mountains has made it possible for him to expose Nepal's biggest assets - the mighty Himalayas - to the world. When he started his career as a photographer for the Nepal Army some 22 years ago, there were very few working photographers in Nepal. Despite numerous hurdles he is now one of the most successful landscape photographers in the country. "I didn't eat so that I could save money to buy and develop film. I've never regretted doing that," shared Jagadish. Satisfaction for this mountain lover is to be able to witness the beauty of mother nature in such a way that no other human being has; it is this zeal that keeps him going. "I feel blessed to have been born in Nepal. Where else would I find the beauty I seek? My work involves many risks in the high altitudes and rugged terrain, but that is a small price to pay when I think about what I get in return. Many people talk about heaven, but I have been there many times. The beauty of the mountains and their different faces reflect joy and peace - I think that is heaven."
Jagadish is well known for his breath-taking mountain posters and calendars. He has also had his works printed in National Geography Maps and has published a photo book called 'Passing by Nepal', working in association with Soren Lauridsen, a Danish photographer.
