Ajay Sood
Celebrated photographer, travel blogger, and expedition leader.
You can see a photographer’s mastery over his
craft in a single shot. Ask him to shoot a white egg against a white wall!
Adding a third dimension is about playing with light facilitated by your
knowledge and imagination. After 25 years of my career in advertising, it’s the
playfulness and path of continuous discovery that got me into travel blogging
and photography. I’ve been to more than 45 countries, won several photography
and travel awards, and have written for several publications including Condé
Nast Traveller & Smart Photography. I founded Travelure in 2007, a travel blog
with an aim to make destinations desirable. Today, my passion is to tell
stories that compel action.
