A man at a bank counter in a border city in northern India, with tension hanging in the air: how could any photographer resist? Over the last decade, Christine Rodgers, born in Lancashire and based in London, has walked through Bhutan, Nepal and the Indian states and regions of Uttarakhand, Ladakh and Sikkim.
"I've developed a certain passion for the Himalayas," she notes. "I love being in the mountains; not climbing, but walking and camping at altitude, with views of the wonderful chain of peaks".
Rodgers used to rely on her Olympus camera to take photographs during her travels, but has since switched mainly to using her mobile phone. "I love the immediacy," she observes. "At first I missed having a viewfinder, but now I feel completely comfortable with the screen".
