My affection for wildlife began with snakes, igniting a path where I defended these misunderstood reptiles as a herpetologist, from 2009 to 2015. A fortuitous trip to Kanha National Park in 2014 transformed my perspective, unveiling a vibrant world beyond scales. This enlightenment expanded my passion to capture the beauty of birds, mammals, enchanting world of underwater and intricate macro life, all driven by a conservationist heart.
As I immersed myself into wildlife photography, it become clear that this art was healing me, and I couldn’t do without it. Mother Nature is my sanctuary and healer. Wildlife photography is my love- letter to nature with the primary goal to foster awareness about the enthralling splendour of nature and the pressing urgency of its preservation. I firmly believe that photography is a potent tool for engaging and enlightening the populace.
Your photographs are amazing. Did you undergo any training in photography or are you selftaught?
Since early days, my love for nature has always been deep rooted. Armed with a simple film camera, I wandered into the wild, capturing its endless beauty. Despite no formal training, I taught myself wildlife photography through trial and error, learning from each shot. Every photo sharpened my skills, with curiosity and creativity steering me. Embracing the thrill of experimentation, I discover something new daily, fueled by my deep passion for the natural world.
