Ace photographer, Atul Kasbekar, comments: “Sri Lanka is every photographers delight. Exotic landscape, fantastic light and very comfy humidity levels make it easier to do shooting outdoor all day. Jetwing hotels have exceptional properties with a level of service that is unmatched. I have tried to use the location creatively in order to get graphics of international appeal.”
