Big Cat Photography Expeditions

A tiger's senses are its greatest tools. Here, framed by the tall grass, it listens intently to the sounds of the jungle. On my workshops, I explain how to interpret this behavior to predict their next move.

Using the Flehmen response to analyze scents in the air. This tiger lifts its head, curling back its lips to draw scent particles towards the Jacobson's organ. It's a fascinating behavior to witness and photograph.

The raw power of a tiger's snarl, captured in a low-key style to emphasize its formidable teeth and whiskers. This is a display of dominance, and getting this shot requires understanding the animal's mood and respecting its space.

A glimpse of a tiger through the trees in its forest home. This image shows the importance of composition, using the natural environment to frame the subject and tell a story of its life in the wild.

A short video showing me at work, followed by the resulting shots of a tiger emerging from the leaves and walking down a forest path. This gives a real sense of the safari experience, from spotting to capturing the final image.

A tiger on its morning patrol, bathed in the golden light filtering through the trees. We always start our safaris early to catch this magical light, which transforms an ordinary walk into an extraordinary photographic opportunity.

A tiger rests on a ridge, surveying its territory. This wider shot places the animal in its environment, showing the relationship between the predator and the forest it commands.

The tigress Beera of Tadoba, seen through a natural frame of leaves. Using foreground elements like this adds depth and a sense of discovery to the photograph, making the viewer feel like they are right there with you.

Naintara, a well known tigress from the Tadoba buffer zone, emerges from behind a tree. Her cautious yet confident posture is a story in itself. We track these animals respectfully to capture their natural behavior.
