Some of them were really creative, others were just family photos, but that wall was a real inspiration to me. I wanted to have my own wall one day. When I went to school Dad finally bought me a proper SLR camera. It was a Chinon with a Pentax lens.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Where are you now and what are you shooting?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>I\u2019ve been commissioned to photograph a book this year about iconic treks around the world.

I was fortunate to travel through northern Pakistan and Afghanistan while I was shooting a book. I reached some very remote little villages in the mountains where there would never be anywhere to stay, but the locals were always so generous with their hospitality.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>They would re-arrange their entire home so I could sleep in my own room, and always cook far more food than I could ever eat. The mountains in Pakistan are like nowhere else in the Himalayas; brooding and menacing and towering above like gothic cathedrals. There was a genuine old-world feeling in Pakistan that made me feel like I was discovering travelling all over again.<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/preview\/1225-1117\/girls-face-decorated-henna-unusual-pattern-north-west\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/1225-1117.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a girls face decorated with henna\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A girls face is decorated with henna in an unusual pattern, North West Frontier Province, Pakistan, Asia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>How would you describe your style?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Spontaneous and real (I hope). I tend to work fairly free and light. I prefer to work with fixed lenses and keep things simple.

I had a great experience trekking the Manaslu circuit. It\u2019s a relatively undiscovered area which is going to change fast, but for now it remains a very special place.<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/preview\/1225-758\/painted-face-masks-display-historical-newar-city-bhaktapur\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RF\/RH_RF\/HORIZONTAL\/1225-758.jpg\" alt=\"photo of Painted face masks on display in the historical Newar city of Bhaktapur, Nepal\" width=\"1000\" height=\"751\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Painted face masks on display in the historical Newar city of Bhaktapur, Nepal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Can you recall a particularly challenging experience while taking photos and travelling?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>I got hit by a big landslide while driving across a pass in Ladakh. I managed to jump out of the jeep just seconds before a bolder the size of a fridge-freezer hit the roof and destroyed the car completely. I then ran through a bombardment of flying stones and spent the night sleeping in a hut at 4500m. It had rained all day while driving and Ladakh is particularly dangerous when it rains. The earth is dry, soft and sandy and turns into a mudslide pretty quickly causing landslides. I pay a lot more attention to weather forecasts since then.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/preview\/1225-112\/nubra-woman-wears-traditional-dress-attend-gathering-local\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/1225-112.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a A Nubra woman\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Nubra woman wears traditional dress to attend a gathering at a local monastery in the Nubra Valley, Ladakh, India, Asia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What camera\/s and equipment do you use?

It\u2019s not the same as absorbing images in an exhibition. It\u2019s too transitory to have a lasting impact and stimulate the mind. I would urge them to get out and practice as much as possible. Beautiful locations won\u2019t make them a good photographer. The challenge is to make the ordinary something special. If you can do that then when you do find yourself somewhere special you\u2019ll do something different.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>What are your future plans?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>This year I will devote most of my time to the book.
