About Wildlife Photography
What I Do
Wildlife is my thing, and my camera is always ready. I go where the animals are, whether it's a busy wetland in Gujarat or deep forest in Uttarakhand. My work is all about showing real wildlife moments - especially birds. My bird photography in India is what people know me for, but I don't stop there. Mammals, reptiles, even insects - if it's wild, I'm interested.
How I Work
- I love getting up close for intimate portraits, where you can see the eyes and attitude of my subjects.
- Freezing fast action - like a bird mid-flight or a leopard on the move - is something I chase every weekend.
- I always try to frame animals in their actual, messy, beautiful natural habitat. No fake backdrops here.
- Light is everything. I plan my shots for early mornings or late afternoons, when the sun makes everything look golden.
What You Get
- Commissioned wildlife projects, whether you’re an NGO, magazine, or a private collector. I've worked across India and even shot in Botswana and Nepal.
- My library has loads of fine art animal prints and editorial wildlife images, available for licensing or as prints for your space.
Saturdays and Sundays don’t mean rest for me - it's time to get out and shoot. This is more than a job, it's my discipline, my passion. Jai Shree Krishna.

My Story
Hey, I’m Gaurav. Honestly, I’m just a guy who loves wild places and animals, camera in hand. My adventures have taken me from Indian jungles to Europe and Bhutan – chasing those quiet moments, like an owl’s stare or a kingfisher’s splash. Sure, my photos made it to The Times Of India a bunch of times, but for me, it’s all about telling the animal’s story, not collecting awards.
My Work
Wildlife & Bird Photography - I capture birds and animals in their natural habitat – think owl portrait photography, kingfisher action shots, and more.
Patient, Minimal Disturbance Approach - I wait for hours if needed, always making sure not to disturb the wildlife. It’s about respect.
Travel Assignments - I’m based in India but ready to travel anywhere for professional bird photo assignments.
Publication-Ready Images - My work is professional grade, suitable for magazines or major publications. Quality is key for me.
