The distant rumble of a tusker emerging one morning from the forests of Nepal. The crack of the shifting expanses of ice in northern Mongolia. The swirl of mist around a lantern atop Hong Kong Island. And then, the silence and space of the vast sand deserts of the Empty Quarter. Palani Mohan’s work serves as a thought-provoking reflection on shapes and forms, and the world we live in.

Indian born and Australian raised, Palani recently returned to Hong Kong from Dubai, for his third stint of living in the harbour city which he loves, and which serves as a base for his editorial, corporate and fine art work. He is the author of six books including his latest – “Wind Water” and "Hunting with Eagles: In the Realm of the Mongolian Kazakhs” which has been lauded as an anthropological treasure. His work has been widely published by many of the world’s leading publications and is part of the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London. Palani has been recognised with awards including World Press Photo, Picture of the Year International, CHIPP, Communication Arts, and Sony International. He frequently speaks about photography, including in the TEDx series and at the Asia Society in Hong Kong and New York.
