About The Big Cats of Karnataka

I don't just crop in on faces for a portrait. These prints are archival-grade, museum-quality pieces that capture the animal in their actual home, whether it is a monsoon-drenched mossy mound or a golden summer waterhole in Kabini. Each print is made on heavyweight, acid-free paper using pigment-based inks to ensure the deep blacks and lush greens of the forest floor last for decades on your wall.
