Kiran Ambwani


Kiran Ambawni is a freelance photographer based in Montreal, and she specializes in editorial and commercial photography. A graduate of McGill University and the Dawson Institue of Photography, her background in anthropolgy has clearly influenced her work as evidenced by her travel portfolio.

Some of her projects deal with one of the largest slums in Asia; Mumbai's Dharvi, a Trek for Peace documenting the Himalayan mountain women of Nepal, and Tibetans in exile.

Apart from her talented Travel portfolio, drop by her Landscape gallery and see how lumimous its first frame is!

liveBooks Photojournalism Websites


liveBooks has launched liveBooks Photojournalism, a cost-effective, pre-designed website offering and community for photojournalists launched in partnership with FiftyCrows and the National Geographic All Roads Photography Program.

This partnership will include eight additional leaders in international photojournalism and documentary photography in the near future, and will provide photojournalists worldwide with an opportunity to have a professional web presence at an affordable price.

The sites are available via subscription for $44/month or $444/year, or they can be purchased for a one-time fee of $1,144. I don't have a liveBooks website, but I know of many photographers who have. More examples are also found on its website. Further details are available directly from liveBooks Photojournalism.

liveBooks also has a very informative blog called RESOLVE, which is edited by Miki Johnson and Carmen Suen. I've bookmarked it for regular follow up...you may want to do so as well.
