For this year’s edition of my annual Bangladesh photograph tour, I was joined by four willing participants.

Sri Lanka 2019: Field notes

By Etienne / November 25, 2019 / 2 Comments

After a great first outing last year, Pics of Asia returned for its second photography tour of Sri Lanka. And once again, the teardrop-shaped island did not disappoint.  What’s great about Sri Lanka is that you can balance luxury accommodation with very non-luxurious locations for photography, such as smelly fish markets and muddy tea fields.…
