About Photography Tours & Workshops
Nature Through My Lens
For me, photography means catching that real connection in the wild. Jaisa ki hum kehte hain, subah-subah jungle gate pe khade ho jaate hain (like we say, we stand at the jungle gate early morning), just waiting for the forest to wake up. Every animal, every bird, even the rustling leaves have their own kahani (story).
What I Offer
- Small group wildlife photography expeditions into jungles and wetlands I know inside out
- Focus on big cat safaris in places like Kanha, Bandhavgarh, and Tadoba - not just chasing tigers, but telling their story
- Birdwatching photo tours to gems like Keoladeo and Dhanauri, timing our visits for the best migratory action
- Broader trips where we track everything from Barasingha to Blackbuck, plus those golden grassland and flamingo scenes at places like Taal Chhapar and Sambhar Lake
How We Learn
No boring classroom stuff. The jungle is where we learn. I show you how to get the camera settings right, use that perfect morning light, and spot moments before they happen. I’m all about hands-on nature photography tutorials, from nailing sharp shots of a moving leopard to capturing the play of sunrise on misty grass.
Respect Comes First
I run my trips with full respect for wildlife. We’re there to enjoy, learn, and give back, not disturb. Every shot we take should help remind us why these wild places deserve our care.

My Story
Nature ka junoon hai mujhe (I’m obsessed with nature). I’m Girish, and I pretty much live in tiger reserves and wetlands. Chilled mornings, fog, sunlight, that’s my studio. One day it’s Tal Chhapar, next it’s Dhanauri. Patience is key. Once I saw two crows, Kali and Kalu, their dosti (friendship) melted my heart, wrote a story too. For me, it’s not just action shots, sometimes it’s a simple, quiet moment. I’m here to celebrate nature, and maybe remind you why it needs us.
My Work
Nature, Wildlife, Architectural & Street Photography - I shoot nature’s drama, wildlife stories, soulful street scenes, and unique architecture.
Top Gear for Close-Ups - Leica, Nikon, Sony - big lenses for those Leica wildlife close-ups, without disturbing anyone.
Early Bird Approach - Fog ho ya dhoop (fog or sun), I’m always out before sunrise, chasing misty sunrise nature shots.
Photos with Stories - Har photo ke peeche ek kahani hai (every photo has a story). I love storytelling wildlife portraits.
