Private or bespoke photography and cultural tours of India, with varying itineraries, durations and comfort levels, can be arranged on request.
Meet Francisco
Born and raised in a small community in the beautiful African landscape of Zimbabwe, it was easy for Francisco to engage with photography and thrive on interacting with indigenous people from an early age.
His humanitarian grounding in photography has created a life-long passion for capturing people and their stories through his lens. In the intervening years, displaced from his Zimbabwean home, he has actively travelled through and lived in many developing countries in Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and South East Asia.
Francisco first visited India in 1987, and since then he has travelled more than 50,000km across India, Nepal and Bangladesh by land.
He has been fortunate to call India home for more than 8 years; living in Jodhpur, Rajasthan and most recently in a small village in Goa, on the west coast of India.
