Sailing among a sea of icebergs basking in the midnight sun, Iridescent shows the colors of the mundane. A photo vividly filled with contrasting colors as the sun just barely kisses the horizon before rising up again. The entire bay turns into a canvas every night during the sunset and sunrise happening almost at the same time. This was my first sighting of the midnight sun and a night forever etched in my memory.

Cool Cat #4128

On a day with stormy winds near the roaring Atlantic in Southern Iceland, "Veins of Earth" came to life. The glacial rivers of Iceland have always blown my mind with their abstract and ever-changing patterns. To have a look at them from a different perspective enhances their beauty, making them look like a nature's canvas.

The most researched, calculated, and difficult picture of my life. Winner of four international awards.

Veins of Earth

Have you ever seen an underwater waterfall?

Well technically, there cannot be a "waterfall" underwater. Observed only in the southwest coast of Mauritius, this is actually one of the most baffling optical illusion in the whole planet. Mauritius, being a relatively young island, happens to sit on an ocean shelf raised above seabed level. Off this particular coast, a gradual slope is noticed, abruptly ending in a 4000-meter-deep abyss drop, and it is actually sand and slit sediments perpetually falling in a way that makes it look like they’re pouring down a waterfall. It is perfectly safe to swim or surf on this water.

A panorama of 9 images, shot 3km away from the coast of Le Morne beach in Southwest Mauritius.

Underwater

Standing underneath a giant 200 feet high waterfall, hearing the massive flow of water splashing down and breaking the night's silence as the magical northern lights dance above your head, completely taking over the sky like a green curtain.


These are the nights that are going to be etched in my memories forever. These are the nights that never die. The stuff that dreams are made of.

Arctic Dreams

One of the most unique aerial images from Greenland, the shot has been timed to perfection in a way that the sails lead to the half moon on the sky. We often forget the fragile beauty that lies in the waters of arctic, waiting to be discovered. To sail among these massive icebergs has to be one of the most ethereal experience of my life. 


Everyday before our sailing adventure, we would take a zodiac to reach our boat, which was called "Moondance". Moondance is an attempt to transport a viewer into the scene - to make them experience how it feels to sail in the calm and serene arctic water, basked in the parting rays of the midnight sun. It's also an attempt to make you dream, and wonder that a decade down the line, we may not be fortunate enough to sail among icebergs.




Moondance

First rays of the morning sun, piercing through the palm trees in the Mancingan rice fields of Bali.

As the sun's first warmth illuminated the lush greenery, a gentle mist began to rise, lending an otherworldly aura to the scene. The mist danced gracefully between the rows of rice fields, weaving an enchanting tapestry that enhanced the sense of serenity and wonder. It was as though the land itself exhaled, releasing the magic of a new day, a new beginning. This has to be one of the best sunrises I have witnessed in my nine days of sunrise chasing, a scene that took my breath away the first time I witnessed it.

Awakening

As the first light of day ignites the sky, the silhouette of this awe-inspiring mount Agung emerges above the rice fields of Bali shrouded in an aura of mystique. Slowly as time passes, the mist in the foreground gets painted with vivid orange glow of the sun. Against this vibrant backdrop, Mount Agung stands tall and proud, like a regal crown adorning the island, its imposing stature serves as a reminder of the geological forces that have shaped this land, and the ever-present energy that pulses beneath the surface of this active volcano.

The tiny hut in the foreground serves as a poignant juxtaposition, accentuating the immense scale of Mount Agung towering in the background.

Paint It Red is my attempt at bridging the subtle line between photography and painting. I've always tried to take pictures which gives my viewers a feeling of painting. Through this open edition, I wanted everyone to have a piece of red sailboat in the serene arctic water in their wallet.

Paint it Red

Editions by Dipanjan Pal

Fighting the bitter cold in one of the most remote villages of the Indian Himalayas, we kept driving without any proper destination in mind. As soon as we were about to reach the very last road of India, I noticed that everything around us is covered with snow. The temperature was below -22C but I knew this was my chance, sent my drone up for a view of the surroundings and our car for a sense of scale. It felt like a white curtain being spread all over the place, a complete whitewash.

The Great Divide

Foundation

Taken in the remote corners of Greenland where the receding icebergs make their way into the vast ocean, a red sailboat carries the light of hope. The icebergs are often as tall as a mountain, if not more, but through this image I wanted to signify that no matter how colossal the darkness might be, there will always be a glimmer of hope taking you forward. The hope is what we hold on to,  the hope is what we keep alive within us, and the hope is what takes us forward even in the darkest of times.

Nature has always taught us lessons when we least expect them, and "Hope" is a testament of the same.  Let this image be the reminder to keep your hope alive, no matter what.

A Slice of Paradise

Standing in close proximity to one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders, I found myself entranced by the continuous flow of molten lava as night gradually descended. It had been a day of strenuous uphill hiking, a relentless ascent spanning over 10 kilometers, all the while fighting with two injured knees. Yet with unwavering determination and driven by the singular goal of standing in the presence of the magnificent volcano under the veil of darkness - I pushed myself to my extreme limit that day. The volcano emerged as the sole beacon of light, casting an illuminating radiance that danced upon the encircling billows of smoke, transforming the scene into a mesmerizing spectacle.

Close Encounter

Directly above the volcano's central crater, a continuous series of explosions unfolds before our eyes. This fiery spectacle showcases the relentless ejection of molten lava from the depths of Earth, resulting in captivating and mesmerizing natural formations.
