Into The Wild And Wilderness.
When and how did your journey in nature and wildlife photography begin?
I have been in love with nature ever since I was a kid. I belong to the Himalayas and as a kid I used to desperately wait for summer holidays. I loved trekking in the forests surrounding our village and was mesmerized by the million stars which were so clearly visible from the terrace of my village home. It was only when our family’s old Nikon point and shoot camera malfunctioned in the year 2011 that I seriously thought of purchasing a better D-SLR. I began reading about cameras on internet, one thing led to another and even before deciding on my camera I had decided that wildlife photographer is what I want to be. I become obsessed by reading anything and everything about photography, took an 8 week crash course in nature and wildlife photography, started exploring areas and eventually in the year 2014 started doing photography full time.
Who or what is it that inspires you and your work? Which photographer’s work influences you the most?
Mother Nature has been the greatest of all my inspirations. Those divine sunrises and sunsets on the Himalayas, the ruffling sound in the forests as wind blows past the trees, the gushing sound of the water streams, the noisy yet so calming presence of birds, the alarm calls of mammals, the millions of stars in the chilly skies, and finally the immense calm and peace my heart experiences when in nature is something which no words can describe. Nature inspires, and has given me this tremendous opportunity, to present to the world, its beauty in the most beautiful way humanly possible. I have learned a bit from a lot of highly respected and revered nature and wildlife photographers namely Dr. Caesar Sengupta, Suraj Ravindra Das, Yuwaraj Gurjar, Anup Sah and Amit Rane to name a few.
