I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up after snapping his picture at a school program.
He answered without hesitation, "I want to join the Gurkhas."

As much as it is a chance to raise their level of life, 
it is also about pride and family tradition for them to wear the uniform after seeing their dads, uncles, and cousins do so
The indigenous mountain people, such as the Rai's, Gurung's, Limbus, and Magars are chosen by the British army to join their ranks
Still today, joining the British Army is a dream that Nepali boys grow up with.

"Himalayan Tribes"
-------------------------
-------------------------

Nepal has the most remarkable mosaic of ethnic groups in
all of the Himalayan countries. It is home to more than 125 different ethnic groups with
their own culture and often their own language.

Each of the distinguished faces of Nepal are a testament to the country's history and culture. 
The people of this land are proud of their heritage, and they have a story to tell.
The faces of Nepal are as diverse as the languages themselves. 
These are the faces of people who not only have been through incredible hardships, 
but also resilient and continuously striving for a better life. 
It is my goal to share the diversity of these people and culture through this collection.

When I was a photojournalist for a local news website covering the Kathmandu Valley's education industry in 2018, 
I would regularly be invited to these cultural activities at schools to record them. 
It was on one of these occasions that I met this girl wearing a traditional Tharu outfit and asked her if I may snap her photo just before she took the stage.

Tharu's are one of the oldest and original indigenous ethnic groups to inhabit the Terai. They are spread across the length of Nepal’s plain's, Tharus have their own unique religion and practice animism. Their culture is especially suited for the hot plains.

Kathmandu Upgrade

Women in Nepal  face numerous obstacles in their daily lives, including gender-based violence, poverty, limited access to education and healthcare, restricted political representation, cultural constraints, and a lack of economic opportunities. 
Despite progress, women in Nepal continue to struggle against these systemic challenges to achieve equality and empowerment.
It's time we stand with them, lifting them up and providing the support they need to break free and soar.

Break Those Chains

Women in Nepal struggle to reach their full potential due to societal norms and traditional family expectations. Many women give up their aspirations and compromise to fit in, but the power they hold remains untapped.

Capturing the timeless charm of Prague,
Cobblestone streets and historic architecture invite exploration and evokes a sense of wandering.

Wandering In Prague

Editions by Vik

In every passerby, there’s a version of me walking away

frame iii

You think I’m showing you them. I’m showing you me.

0x64f316b04F072aa32A73Ce1f5B59092062A79fE2qkjgycy

a fitting frame for the bidders of "In Shadows"
thank you from the bottom of my heart

About In Shadows:

In Shadows is a 6-piece black-and-
white photography series by Nepali

photographer Frames by Vik,
exploring transformation, duality, and
becoming yourself. Each image
captures a passerby suspended in a
moment, caught between light and
shadow, stillness and motion, much
like the artist himself navigating life
abroad.

These aren’t portraits of people, but
of chance. The compositions feel
intentional, yet they’re entirely
unstaged, reflections of how the city
offers up its own rhythm if you’re
patient enough to catch it.
Vik often wonders what it would be
like to have his own photograph
taken this way, unposed, unaware,
part of the flow. That quiet wish
shapes the emotional core of this
series: a recognition that we’re all
part of each other’s stories, even
when we are In Shadows
