“Himalayan State of Mind” by Subodh Shetty

One thing alone is beautiful – setting off. The world's too vast to live in a single place, or two or three. With so many kinds of foolishness and ignorance left back home, I gazed up to the sight of humble giants - brilliant at eight thousand meters, their golden blades piled high.

Before that and after, between one meal and the next, between a bated breath and the next - between a step here and a step there - there were stories. Recollection of which is faded but the fantasy of it feels like yesterday. This kind of state is the perfect state - a love affair of a third kind - it's the Himalayan state of mind

A Travel photographer hailing from India and based in Dubai for the past 14 years, Subodh Shetty is a multi-disciplinary photographer. With Portraits and Street photography as the main area of focus, Subodh also associates himself with Wildlife, Astro, Drone, and Deep Space Photography. “World is my canvas and I’m nothing but a painter,” he says when asked about his multi-genre approach.

Subodh runs his travel photography company, ‘Photowalk Connect,’ in Dubai and has done over 75 Travel workshops across the globe. His works have been published in Nat Geo, Guardian, CNTraveller, Practical Photography, Nikon Asia, and more. His work has been published across 5 continents as part of the Atlas of Humanity collective. Subodh has also done TEDx Talks in Dubai and is an affiliated photographer with Nikon.

We are proud to present to you The Landscapers Collective, the very first collective completely dedicated to landscape photography, featuring the most talented landscape photographers of the world and most promising artists of the whole NFT space.

We’ve spent a great time curating a team of 20 amazing talents who are now the founding members of this collective. With a goal to be as inclusive as possible, we’ve brought an equal share of women and men into this project. We also opened the doors for anyone interested to join us in our first project through a blind curation contest and will onboard more people over time.

Many countries, cultures, and languages are represented here, all teamed up around a common project: bringing to the world the best of our beautiful nature through our art.

We aren’t planning to drop a collection and disappear, as our goal is to make this collective, this community, bigger and bigger over time. Spaces, Discord groups, new collections, galleries, real-life meetings, and many more will be discussed between us to decide the future of the collective. We’ll do all of this by keeping our principle of inclusivity at the center of all our decisions.
