Hunters of the Sky: Fine Art Raptor Prints
Witness the lethal grace of India’s birds of prey. From the piercing gaze of a Brown Fish Owl in BRT to eagles hunting in Pilibhit, these are raw moments frozen in time.

About Hunters of the Sky
Each of these prints is produced as a high-resolution Giclee on 250+ GSM archival paper to capture the depth of color in the feathers and the intensity of the light. I deliver them rolled in heavy-duty, moisture-resistant mailing tubes, so they arrive in perfect condition, ready for your local framer.
These prints are more than just bird portraits. Whether I am sitting in the forests of BRT or tracking movement in Pilibhit, I am looking for the story behind the flight. Raptors are masters of patience and precision, and capturing them requires equal parts luck and persistence.
The Art of the Hunt
My favorite shots in this collection are the ones that show the reality of the jungle. You will see sequences of a Crested Serpent Eagle or a Brown Fish Owl mid-hunt. It is not always pretty, but it is the truth of the wild. I prefer these habitat-focused shots over studio-style portraits because they show the bird in its element, from the texture of the branch to the backlight of the forest canopy.
Quality That Lasts
I treat these prints as I do my negatives. I use 10-12 color pigment-based inks to ensure the blacks remain deep and the colors don't fade.
- Small Format (A4-A3): Best for gallery walls or desks.
- Large Format (A2-A1): Printed on exhibition-grade canvas or etching paper, designed for those who want a true centerpiece.
Every order includes a note about the specific location and the conditions of that day in the forest, so you know exactly where that shot came from. If you are looking for a specific raptor species or a particular behavior, let me know. I spend my days in the field, and I might just have the shot you are looking for in my archives.
