Eden Antho is the pseudonym I have chosen for my pursuits in the photographic art, especially in the field of travel photography. I have always felt inspired by Apollinaire's brilliant couplet:

Avec ses quatre dromadaires
Don Pedro d'Alfaroubeira
Courut le monde et l’admira
Il fit ce que je voudrais faire
Si j'avais quatre dromadaires

i.e. (my translation):

Riding his four dromedaries
Don Pedro d'Alfaroubeira
Travelled the world near and afar
You bet the world I fain would scour
If I had dromedaries four.

Luckily, my profession as a Linguist, Indologist and Orientalist has afforded me ample opportunity to travel far and wide in the Orient and especially in India to do field research, producing photographic documentation that I have sometimes used to illustrate my writings and lectures.

As for photography in itself, I have cultivated it since my youth, developing and printing in the darkroom, both in black and white and cybachrome. Since the advent of the digital era, I have been taking advantage of the unprecedented possibilities offered by a wide range of software to elicit the best out of my Nikons. Recently I have come back to film photography to some extent, both in full-frame (Nikon) and medium format (Hasselblad, Mamiya, Fuji).
