“Faces of the Holi” – Lluís Salvadó 1

Portfolio: Faces of the Holi

Description: Each year, with the arrival of spring, India is flooded with color. Green harmony, vitality blue, red of

passion and orange from optimism. A party full of colors and water with a religious background. An event which also

celebrated the spring with an explosion of vitality, prior to the long months of lethargy produced by the stifling heat

that paralyzes the Indian population during the summer. I took these photos during 2014's Holi Festival in Nandgaon,

Vrindavan and Bikaner, India.

Portfolio: A Journey Through Middle Earth

Description: A two week journey through the heart of the North Island of New Zealand lead to some wonderful moments of

light and adventure. From spending several nights camping out alone high up on the harsh volcanic environment of Tongariro

National Park, highlighted by the world famous Tongariro Crossing Day walk, through to unknown bush bashing to find the

beautiful entrance to moss ladened Te Whaiti-Nui-A-Toi Canyon in the pristine Whirinaki Forest. New Zealand is simply a

travelers delight with the freedom to explore a spectacular diverse landscape at ones leisure. I am blessed to live in, and

photograph such a special place and this portfolio is a small collection of moments and thoughts from this journey.

Portfolio: My Luminous Diary - Myanmar

Description: Light is everything. The capture of light for an instant in space. The moment of time when life is

frozen. The luminosity of the smallest things compared to the incomprehensible vastness on this planet. Theses

photographs are my recordings from Myanmar , the observations as a traveler of the various plays of light at dawn

, dusk and rest of the day.
