An ongoing exhibition, "...there will be light" features forty photographs from the widely acclaimed photographer Mahesh Nair, which are on display at the National Geographic store at VivoCity until May 24th. Photographs are on sale, as well as the companion book.

Mahesh Nair describes himself as a nature and wildlife photographer who uses light in ways to present the "extraordinary in the ordinary." His experimentation with light and motion ultimately brings his stationary subjects to life. The exhibition shows scenic images each with dramatized beauty featuring breath-taking mountain views in Ladakh to low lying river scenes in Ireland.

Not only is Nair a passionate photographer, but he is also passionate about conservation. His work is an attempt to highlight the beauty of nature to inspire natural preservation.

Mahesh Nair's work has been described as "digital masterpieces" making this exhibition a must-see.
