About me
Hi! I'm Rupa and I moved to sunny California from Nepal a few years ago. My love of the camera led to much acclaim for a wide variety of work (see below) before family responsibilities distracted me for a bit. Not the path expected of Glamour's 2005 model of the year, I know, but I'm rejuvenated and know how much I missed the camera... I'm back and ready to rock! I'm looking for paid work, both still and video (this means I'm here looking for work, not tons of new friends, sorry!). For those truly talented with a camera, I am also open to non monetary work.Please note that all of my images are unretouched... what you see is what you get :-)
